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 now 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 commin' 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
