Monkey Time

There's a place right across town

Whenever you're ready

Where people gather around

Whenever they're ready

And when the music begins to play

You feel the groove coming on its way

Are you ready? (Are you ready?)

Well, you get yours 'cause I've got mine

For the monkey time (Monkey time)

Now the dance that the people do

I don't know how it started

All I know that when the beat brings the feel

It's so hard to get parted

And when the music begins to play

Automatically you're on your way

Are you ready? (Are you ready?)

Well, you get yours 'cause I've got mine

For the monkey time

Do the monkey, yeah (Do the monkey time)

Do the monkey, yeah (Do the monkey time)

Twist them hips (Twist them hips)

Let your backbone slip (Let your backbone slip)

Mmm, move your feet, now (Move your feet)

Get on the beat, babe (Get on the beat)

Are you ready? (Are you ready?)

Well, you get yours 'cause I've got mine

For the monkey time (Monkey time)

Now the dance that the people do

I don't know how it started

All I know that when the beat brings the feel

It's so hard to get parted

And when the music begins to play

Automatically you're on your way

Are you ready? (Are you ready?)

Well, you get yours 'cause I've got mine

For the monkey time (Monkey time)

For the monkey time (Monkey time)

Give me a big strong line (Monkey time)

You're looking real fine (Monkey time)

Mmm
