Mama don't like your holey shoes
Scrapping in the back yard-4 be 2
Daddy's smokin' motor didn't make it up the hill
Mama can't pay, she's got one day
She fot no money for the telephone bill
Tighten up, tighten up
Everything falls apart

Mama says to Papa now where ya been?
Papa says I'm sorry Mama I got a full skin
Mama gets excited, she haveing an attack
Mama spins around, Daddy hit's the ground
For too long now she's been taking up the slack
Tighten up, tighten up
Everything falls apart

Jimmy coming home now, see im on the run
Mama's going through the cupboards-looking for a can
Daddy on a ladder, TV on the blink
Mama can't think, Daddy's feelin' like a drink
And all the dirty dishes lord are piling up in the sink!
Tighten up, tighten up
Everything falls apart
Tighten up, tighten up
Everything falls apart
