[Verse 1]
Been working so hard
I'm punching my card
Eight hours, for what?
Oh, tell me what I got
I've got this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town, town

[Chorus]
Tonight I gotta cut loose
A footloose
Kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back
Come on before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose

[Verse 2]
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Deep way down in your heart
You're burning, yearning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
And I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try, try, try
[Chorus]
You'd only cut loose, a footloose
Kick off my Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose

Tonight I gotta cut loose
Kick off my Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
Everybody, yeah

[Outro]
Kick off my Sunday shoes
C'mon, c'mon
Footloose
Kick off my Sunday shoes
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Everybody cut footloose
Everybody
Everybody cut footloose
