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 go into your dance
You’ll forget your woe
So: [bad word] Get together
Let the dance floor feel your leather
Step as lightly as a feather
Let yourself go [bad word] 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 [bad word] Cuddle closer
Don’t you dare to answer "no, sir"
Butcher, banker, clerk and grocer
Let yourself go

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.

Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes
and cutaway coat, perfect fits,
Puttin' on the ritz.

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper) [bad word] let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
or "umberellas" in their mitts,
Puttin' on the ritz. [bad word] Get together
Let the dance floor feel your leather
Step as lightly as a feather
Let yourself go [bad word] 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 [bad word] Cuddle closer
Don’t you dare to answer "no, sir"
Butcher, banker, clerk and grocer
Let yourself go
