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



[Chorus]

Some days you gotta dance

Live it up when you get the chance

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



[Repeat Chorus]



Some days you gotta dance

You gotta loosen up those chains and dance

You gotta loosen up those chains and dance
