I been working so hard, I'm punching my card
Eight hours for what, oh tell me what I got
I've done this feeling that time's just holdihg me down
I'll hit the ceiling or else I'll tear up this town

So now I gotta cut loose, footloose, kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back, c'mon before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose

You're playing so cool, obeying every rule
Dig way down in your heart, you're yearning, yearning for some
Somebody to tell you that life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you it will if you don't even try

You can fly if you'd only
Cut loose, footloose kick off your Sunday shoes
Ooh whee, Marie shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, Milo c'mon, c'mon let's go
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose

Cut footloose
Cut footloose
Cut footloose

We got to turn you around
And put your feet on the ground
Now take a hold of your ball

I'm turning it loose, footloose kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back c'mon before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose

Footloose kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back c'mon before we crack
Lose your blues

Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut footloose
