[00:00.44] Respectable
[00:03.06] Respectable
[00:04.99] Respectable
[00:06.78] Respectable
[00:09.10] Take, take, take, take, take-take, t-t-take, take
[00:13.19] Take or leave us, only please believe us
[00:16.36] We ain't never gonna be respectable
[00:20.04] It's a occupation, we're a dancing nation
[00:24.89] We keep the pressure on every night
[00:28.59] Explanations are complications
[00:32.63] We don't need to know the "Where?" or "Why?"
[00:36.50] Take, take, take, take, take-take, t-t-take, take
[00:40.46] Taking chances, bold advances
[00:44.59] Don't care if you think we're out of line
[00:48.27] Conversation is interrogation
[00:52.49] Get out of here, we just don't have the time
[00:56.14] Take, take, take, take, take-take, t-t-take, take
[01:00.00] Take or leave us, only please believe us
[01:03.41] We ain't never gonna be respectable (respectable)
[01:08.39] Like us, hate us, but you'll never change us

[01:19.30] Respectable
[01:21.63] Respectable
[01:23.55] Hesitation is just frustration
[01:27.60] Give us the music and we're alright
[01:31.22] On each occasion, for your information
[01:35.52] We can look after ourselves alright
[01:39.25] Take, take, take, take, take-take, t-t-take, take
[01:43.22] Take or leave us, only please believe us
[01:46.56] We ain't never gonna be respectable (respectable)

[02:07.56]
[02:22.65] Fascination is our sensation
[02:26.65] We like to put ourselves on the line
[02:30.34] Recreation is our destination
[02:34.54] So, don't wait up for us tonight
[02:38.15] Take, take, take, take, take-take, t-t-take, take
