The Monkey Time
There's a place right across town
Whenever you're ready, come on down
A-where the people gather 'round
Whenever they're ready, yes they do
And then the music begins to play
You feel a groove comin' on its way
Are you ready (are you ready?)
Are you gettin' yours, like I got mine?
With the monkey time (monkey time)
Yeah (monkey time)
Now the dance that the people do
I don't know how to start it, oh no
All I know is when the beat brings a feel
It's a-hard to get parted, yes it is
And then the music begins to play
A-automatically you're on your way
Are you ready (are you ready?)
Are you gettin' yours, like I got mine?
With the monkey time yeah (monkey time)
A-do the monkey yeah (do the monkey time)
A-do the monkey yeah (do the monkey time)
Come on and twist them hips yeah (twist them hips)
Let your backbone slip-uh (let your backbone slip)
Move you feet-uh (move your feet)
And get on the beat (get on the beat)
Are you ready (are you ready?)
Are you gettin' yours, like I got mine?
With the monkey time yeah (monkey time)
Monkey time (monkey time)
Well now the dance that the people do
I don't know how to start it, no-no-no-no, no
All I know is when the beat brings a feel
It's a-hard to get parted, yes it is
And when the music begins to play
A-automatically you're on your way
Are you ready (are you ready?)
Are you gettin' yours, like I got mine?
With the monkey time (monkey time)
Do the monkey yeah (monkey time)
Come on and monkey babe (monkey time)
Come on and drive me crazy (monkey time)
I want a big strong line (monkey time)
To do the monkey time
Whenever you're ready, come on down
A-where the people gather 'round
Whenever they're ready, yes they do
And then the music begins to play
You feel a groove comin' on its way
Are you ready (are you ready?)
Are you gettin' yours, like I got mine?
With the monkey time (monkey time)
Yeah (monkey time)
Now the dance that the people do
I don't know how to start it, oh no
All I know is when the beat brings a feel
It's a-hard to get parted, yes it is
And then the music begins to play
A-automatically you're on your way
Are you ready (are you ready?)
Are you gettin' yours, like I got mine?
With the monkey time yeah (monkey time)
A-do the monkey yeah (do the monkey time)
A-do the monkey yeah (do the monkey time)
Come on and twist them hips yeah (twist them hips)
Let your backbone slip-uh (let your backbone slip)
Move you feet-uh (move your feet)
And get on the beat (get on the beat)
Are you ready (are you ready?)
Are you gettin' yours, like I got mine?
With the monkey time yeah (monkey time)
Monkey time (monkey time)
Well now the dance that the people do
I don't know how to start it, no-no-no-no, no
All I know is when the beat brings a feel
It's a-hard to get parted, yes it is
And when the music begins to play
A-automatically you're on your way
Are you ready (are you ready?)
Are you gettin' yours, like I got mine?
With the monkey time (monkey time)
Do the monkey yeah (monkey time)
Come on and monkey babe (monkey time)
Come on and drive me crazy (monkey time)
I want a big strong line (monkey time)
To do the monkey time
