[Verse 1]
You move it to the left
Yeah, then you go for yourself
You move it to the right
Yeah, if it takes all night
Now baby kinda slow
With a whole lot of soul
Don't move it too fast and make it last
[Verse 2]
You know you scratch just like a monkey
Yeah, you do, real, yeah
You slide into the limbo
Yeah, how low can you go?
But oh, come on, baby
I don't want you to scuffle now
You just groove it right here to the Harlem shuffle
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem shuffle
Oh, do the monkey shine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem shuffle
[Vocalisations]
[Verse 3]
Hitch, hitch-hike, baby, across the floor
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I can't stand it no more
Now come on, baby
Now get into your slide
We're gonna ride, ride, ride, little pony ride
Yeah
[Outro]
Shake, shake, shake, shake a tail feather, baby
Ooh
Shake, shake, shake, shake a tail feather, baby
Ooh (One more time)
Shake, shake, shake, do the monkey time, baby
