As you listen to the band don't you get a bubble? As you listen to them play don't you get a glow? If you step out on the floor You'll forget your trouble If you go into your dance You'll forget your woe So: Come Get together Let the dance floor feel your leather Step as lightly as a feather Let yourself go Come Hit the timber Loosen up and start to limber Can't you hear that hot marimba? Let yourself go Let yourself go Relax And let yourself go Relax You've got yourself tied up in a knot The night is cold but the music's hot So Come Cuddle closer Don't you dare to answer "No, sir" Butcher, banker, clerk and grocer Let yourself go
