THE MONKEY TIME

Major Lance



There's a place right across town, whenever you're ready

Where people gather 'round, whenever they're ready

And then the music begins to play

You feel a groove comin' on its way

Are you ready (are you ready)

Well, you get yours, cause-a I got mine

For the Monkey Time (Monkey Time)

(Monkey Time)

Now the dance that the people do, I don't know how it started

All I know is that when the beat brings a feel

It's so hard to get parted

And then the music begins to play

Automatically you're on your way

Are you ready (are you ready)

Well, you get yours, cause-a I got mine

For the Monkey Time (Monkey Time)

(Monkey Time)

Do the Monkey, yeah (do the Monkey Time)

Do the Monkey, yeah (do the Monkey Time)

Ah-twist them hips (twist them hips)

Let your backbone slip (let your backbone slip)

Now move your feet (move your feet)

Get on the beat (get on the beat)

Are you ready (are you ready)

Well, you get yours, cause-a I got mine

For the Monkey Time (Monkey Time)

(Monkey Time)

Now the dance that the people do, I don't know how it started

All I know is that when the beat brings a feel

It's so hard to get parted

And then the music begins to play

Automatically you're on your way

Are you ready (are you ready)

Well, you get yours, cause-a I got mine

For the Monkey Time (Monkey Time)

Ah, do the Monkey, yeah

Give me a big strong line

You're lookin' real fine
