Monkey time

There's place right across town
Where the dancin' is steady
Where people gather round - whenever they're ready
And then the music begins to play
You feel a fool standin' round this way-
Are you ready, are you ready
Well you get yours, 'cause I got mine,
For the monkey time, monkey time

Now the dance that the people do
I don't know how it started
All I know that when it's feelin' good
It's 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 I got mine, for the monkey time-

Do the monkey - yeah- twist them hips-
Let your back bone slip- now move your feet-
Get on the beat, are you ready - are you ready
Well you get yours, 'cause I got mine, for the monkey time
Do the monkey, yeah
Give me a big strong line
You're lookin' real fine
