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 to 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
  It seems unreal to me that
  He 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 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 to 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 to 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
