Stop talking about Mr. Charlie
He ain't nothing but a man
I want you to stop preaching hate, brother
Go out and shake a few hands
You've got everything you need, yeah
To make your life really swing
All you gotta do is
Tighten up your own thing, baby
You got to tighten up your own thing, yeah
Tighten up your own thing, yeah
Let wisdom be your hammer
Let progress be your aim
You're bound to hit it big one day, brother
Freedom will be your claim
You've got to stop throwing lines
And start pulling strings
All you need to do is
Tighten up your own thing, baby
You got to tighten up your own thing
Tighten up
People ain't nothing but flesh and blood, now
And that's all there is to that
Let me tell you, flesh and blood don't make a man, no, no
It's the way they live and act
Now listen, you're not in the dark no more
You've got your civil rights
All you need to do is
Tighten up your own thing, baby
You got to tighten up your own thing
Tighten up
Get together
Pull it tighter, now
Stop segregating
Do some integrating
Come together, now
Be brothers and sisters, yeah
All men together, now
Stop fighting and killing one another, now
Get it together
He ain't nothing but a man
I want you to stop preaching hate, brother
Go out and shake a few hands
You've got everything you need, yeah
To make your life really swing
All you gotta do is
Tighten up your own thing, baby
You got to tighten up your own thing, yeah
Tighten up your own thing, yeah
Let wisdom be your hammer
Let progress be your aim
You're bound to hit it big one day, brother
Freedom will be your claim
You've got to stop throwing lines
And start pulling strings
All you need to do is
Tighten up your own thing, baby
You got to tighten up your own thing
Tighten up
People ain't nothing but flesh and blood, now
And that's all there is to that
Let me tell you, flesh and blood don't make a man, no, no
It's the way they live and act
Now listen, you're not in the dark no more
You've got your civil rights
All you need to do is
Tighten up your own thing, baby
You got to tighten up your own thing
Tighten up
Get together
Pull it tighter, now
Stop segregating
Do some integrating
Come together, now
Be brothers and sisters, yeah
All men together, now
Stop fighting and killing one another, now
Get it together
