Lyrics (1989)[]
Pasqually: Been working so hard
I'm punchin' my card
Eight hours, for what?!
Oh, tell me what I got
I got this feeling
That time is holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town
Tonight I gotta cut loose
All: Footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon, before we crack
Lose your blues
Pasqually: Everybody cut footloose
Helen: Oh-oh-oh-oh
All: Cut footloose
Helen: Oh-oh-oh-oh
All: Cut footloose
Helen: Oh-oh-oh-oh
All: Cut footloose
Helen: Oh-oh-oh-oh
All: First!
Jasper: We got to turn it around
All: Second!
Munch: And put your feet on the ground
All: Third!
Pasqually: Now take a hold of your soul
All: Ahhhhhhhhhhh...!!! YEAH!!!
Pasqually: I'm turning it loose
All: Footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me offa my knees

Chuck E.: All right, everybody! Come on, it's time to get up outta those seats, and work off a little bit of that pizza! (giggles) Get up here and dance with me and the gang, everybody! Oh, yeah!
I've been working so hard
Keep punchin' my card
Eight hours, for what?!
Oh, tell me what I got

That time is holding me down, da-da-da-da (Yeah!) And I know
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town

Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passin' you by (Oh, no!)

It will if you don't even try (Heh!)
You can fly if you'd only cut
