It was about five 'til five on Friday 
We were all getting ready to go 
And the boss man started screaming 
And his veins began to show 
He said you and you come with me 
'Cause you're gonna have to stay 
My heart was thumping I was jumping 
I had to get away 

Some days you gotta dance 
Live it up when you get the chance 
Cause when the world doesn't make no sense 
And you're feeling just a little too tense 
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance 

Well I was talking with my baby 
Over a small glass of tea 
He asked the loaded question 
He said how do you feel about me 
My mind was racin' I was pacin' 
But the word just wouldn't come 
And there was only on thing 
Left to do I feel it comin' on 

Some days you gotta dance 
Live it up when you get the chance 
Cause when the world doesn't make no sense 
And you're feeling just a little too tense 
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance a ha 

Some days you gotta dance 
Live it up when you get the chance 
Cause when the world doesn't make no sense 
And you're feeling just a little too tense 
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance 

You gotta loosen up those chains and dance 
Come on and loosen up those chains and dance
