Lyrics TIGHTEN UP (JAPANESE GENTLEMEN STAND UP PLEASE!) - Yellow Magic Orchestra

Hi, everybody!
We are YMO from Tokyo, Japan
We don't sightsee, we dance!
You understand?
We are the number one dance band in Tokyo (Aha!)

Now, 'Tighten Up' was very popular in Houston, Texas
With Archie Bell & the Drells
Now, we are the number one!
I think so, ha ha (Yeah!)

Tighten up, Takahashi!
酒飲め, Sakamoto!
Hurry up with the bass, Papa-san!

Oh yeah, uh-huh, here we go!
Come on, everybody!
You and me
Sock it to me, Sakamoto!
Oi! Oi! Oi!
