The night is cool, the music is hot
Step by step we as a feather
Relax let yourself go
Don't get yourself all tied up in knots
Float as freely as a feather
Relax
Sister, brother, brother, sister
Take it easy but take
Relax
Oh oh let yourself go, let yourself go
Don't get yourself all tied up in knots
The night is cool, the music is hot
Relax
Oh oh let yourself go, let yourself go
