Lyrics

Well, there's a place way across town, whenever you're ready
Where the people gather around, whenever they're ready
And then the music begins to play
Then you feel a groove comin' on its way
Are you ready? (Are you ready?)
You can go 'cause I've got mine
Got a Monkey Time
Well now, this dance that the people do
I don't know how it started
All I know is that when that beat brings a feel
It's hard to get parted
And as the music begins to play
Now automatically you're on your way
Are you ready? (Are you ready?)
You can go, mama, I've got mine
For the Monkey Time
(Do the Monkey, do the Monkey Time)
Do the Monkey, yeah (Do the Monkey Time)
Shake your hip (Shake your hip)
Let your backbone slip (Let your backbone slip)
Come on, move your feet (Move your feet)
Get on the beat (Get on the beat)
Baby, are you ready? (Are you ready?)
Tell me, tell me, are you ready, for the Monkey Time?
Now, this dance that the people do
I don't know how it started
All I know is when the beat brings a feel
It's hard to get parted
And then the music begins to play
Now automatically you're on your way
Are you ready? (Are you ready?)
You can go, mama, I've got mine
For the Monkey Time
(Monkey Time) You can go, I've got mine
(Monkey Time) Come on, baby, come on, child
(Monkey Time) Baby, I've got mine
(Monkey Time) Do the Monkey
(Monkey Time)
