[Intro]
(Do-do-doo-do)
(Do-do-doo-do)
[Verse 1]
There's a dance goin' 'round they call the eighty-one (eighty-one)
Everybody's doin' it whether they are old or young (old or young)
[Pre-Chorus]
Because you're tired of doin' the monkey (monkey)
Tired of doin' the swim
So, if you wanna have some fun
Come on and dance, dance, dance
[Chorus]
Do the 81 (do the eighty-one)
'Cause it's so fun ('cause it's so fun)
In a big boss line (in a big boss line)
Let's do it one more time! (do it one more time)
[Verse 2]
My momma said she's gonna buy herself some dancin' shoes (dancin' shoes)
And all you need is to feel the beat to get with the groove (with the groove)
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, it's better than the cha-cha (cha-cha)
Better than the swim
Everybody, come, join in
And dance, dance, dance
[Chorus]
Do the 81 (do the eighty-one)
'Cause it's so fun ('cause it's so fun)
In a big boss line (in a big boss line)
Let's do it one more time! (do it one more time)
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're tired of doin' the monkey (monkey)
Tired of doin' the swim
So come along and join the fun
And dance, dance, dance
[Chorus]
Do the 81 (do the eighty-one)
'Cause it's so fun ('cause it's so fun)
In a big boss line (in a big boss line)
Let's do it one more time! (do it one more time)
Do the 81 (do the eighty-one)
'Cause it's so fun ('cause it's so fun)
In a big boss line (in a big boss line)
Let's do it one more time! (do it one more time)
[Outro]
'Cause it's so fun (do the eighty-one)
In a big boss line (do the eighty-one)
