Archie (spoken):
Hi everybody. I'm Archie Drell of the Drells of Houston, Texas. We don't
only sing but we dance just as good as we walk. In Houston we just started a
new dance called the "Tighten Up." This is the music we tighten up with.
First tighten up on the drums.
Come on now drummer.
I want you to tighten it up for me now.
Drum solo.
Oh, yeah.
Tighten up on that bass now.
Double bass begins.
Tighten it up. Ha-ha, yeah.
Now let that guitar fall in.
Guitar begins.
Oh, yeah.
Tighten up on the organ now.
Organ begins.
Sung:
Yeah, you do The Tighten up.
Yeah now.
I said if you can do it now,
It sure would be tough.
Spoken:
Now look here. Come on now.
Now make it mellow.
Sung:
Clapping.
