All night and the night befo`
(Don`t let it go)
Somebody kept a-knockin` on the do`
(Don`t let it go)
Got up and see what the noise
(Don`t let it go)
Spot myself a rowdy young boy
(Don`t let it go)

Put on my hat, put on my shoes
(Don`t let it go)
I ran out the do` to see what I could do
(Don`t let it go)
They were singin` a song called
(Boo-hoo-hoo)

Look out here come the rhythm boys
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
I was out there shakin` their hands
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
One cat broke out singin`, I`m A Man`
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
Hold on to what you got but don`t let go
(Don`t let it go)

Hold on to what you got but don`t let go (yeah, yeah)
(Don`t let it go)
Hold on to what you got but don`t let go
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Don`t let it go)

Hold on to what you got but don`t let go
(Don`t let it go)
We`ve changed the tune and start singin` a song
(Don`t let it go)
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
I like yo` woman ain`t gon` do no harm
(Boo-hoo-hoo)

I said, `Get away beer boy, your mind`s messed up`
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
She bring me my coffee in her favorite cup
(Boo-hoo-hoo)

Hold on to what you got but don`t let go
(Don`t let it go)
Hold on to what you got but don`t let go
Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Don`t let it go)
Hold on to what you got but don`t let go
(Don`t let it go)
Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hold on to what you got but don`t let go
(Don`t let it go)

Goin` start to singin`, you`re singin` in vain
(Don`t let it go)
I like a-yo woman, it`s a cryin` shame
(Don`t let it go)
I said, `No, no, no, that won`t work, here`
(Don`t let it go)
You better go back, grow up, come back next year
(Don`t let it go)

She said, `Hold on to what you got but don`t let it go`
(Don`t let it go)
She said, `Hold on to what you got but don`t let it go`
(Don`t let it go)
She said, `Hold on to what you got but don`t let it go`
(Don`t let it go)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

(Say, hey)
(Don`t let it go)
(Say, hey)
FADES-
(Say, hey)
(Don`t let it go)
(Say, hey)
(Hey, don`t let it go)
