Chorus:

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 or Grocer, Let yourself go.
