Lyrics Tighten Up (A&M Mix) by 細野晴臣 (Haruomi Hosono)

Hi, everybody!
We are YMO
From Tokyo, Japan
We don't sight see, we dance!
You understand? (Ya ya!)
We are the number one dance band in Tokyo. (Haha!)

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

Tighten up, Takahashi!
酒飲め, Sakamoto!
Hurry up with the ba**, papa-san!

Japanese gentlemen, stand up please
Do the tighten up
