Tighten Up Your Own Thing

Lyrics

Oh, ooh hoohoo, Ah ah, ah! Stop talking about Mr. Charlie! He ain't nothin' but a man I want you to stop preachin' hate, brother Go out and shake a few hands Oh, Got everything you need, yeah To make your life really swing All you gotta do is Tighten up your own thing, baby Tighten up your own thing, yeah Tighten up! Your own thing Let wisdom be your hammer Let progress be your aim You're bound to hit it big one day, brother Freedom will be your claim Oh, you gotta stop drawing lines Start pulling strings All you need to do is Tighten up your own thing, babe Tighten up your own thing Oh! Tighten up! Oohoo! hoo... Oh! Ooh hoo! Now, people ain't nothing but flesh and blood, now And thats all there is to that! Let me tell you, flesh and blood don't make еm bad, no, no Its the way they live and act Now listеn, you're not in the dark no more! You've got your civil rights! All you need to do is Tighten up your own thing, baby Tighten up your own thing Oh, tighten up! Get together! Tighten up! Pull it tighter, now! Stop segregating! Do some integrating! Pull it together, now! Be brothers and sisters, yeah All men together now! Stop fighting, killing one another, now Get it together! Oh, tighten up!
