The Monkey Time

There's a place right across town
Whenever you're ready, come on down
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?)
You get yours like I've got mine
With the Monkey Time (Monkey Time)
Yeah (Monkey Time)

Now the dance that the people do
I don't know how it started, oh no
All I know is when the beat brings a feel
It's hard to get parted, yes, it is
And then the music begins to play
Automatically, you're on your way

Are you ready? (Are you ready?)
You get yours 'cause I got mine
With the Monkey Time, yeah (Monkey Time)

Do the Monkey, yeah (Do the Monkey Time)
Do the Monkey, yeah (Do the Monkey Time)
Come on and twist them hips, yeah (Twist them hips)
Let your backbone slip (Let your backbone slip)
Move your feet (Move your feet)
And get on the beat (Get on the beat)

Are you ready? (Are you ready?)
You get 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 it started, no, no, no, no, no
All I know is when the beat brings a feel
It's hard to get parted, yes, it is
And then the music begins to play
Automatically, you're on your way

Are you ready? (Are you ready?)
Now you get yours 'cause I got mine
With the Monkey Time (Monkey Time)
Do the Monkey, yeah (Monkey Time)
Come on and Monkey, baby (Monkey Time)
Come on and drive me crazy (Monkey Time)
I want a big strong line (Monkey Time)
