It was about five 'til five on Friday   And 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"   But 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   When she asked a loaded question   She said, "How do you feel about me?"      My mind was racin' I was pacin'   But the words just wouldn't come   And there was only one thing left to do   I feel it coming 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      You gotta dance and you gotta dance   You gotta dance and you gotta dance      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 you gotta loosen up those chains and dance   Yeah
