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 start 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, baker, clerk and grocer
Let yourself go
