Lyrics

You move it to the left, yeah and you go for yourself

You move it to the right, yeah if it takes all night

Now take it kinda slow with a whole lot of soul

Don't move it too fast just make it last

You know you scratch just like a monkey yeah, you do real, yeah

You slide it to the limbo, yeah how low can you go?

Now come on, baby, I don't want you to scuffle now

Just groove it right here, do the Harlem Shuffle

Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem Shuffle (oh do the monkey shine)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem Shuffle

Hitch, hitch-hike baby across the floor

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I can't stand it no more

Now come on, baby, now get into your slide

You gonna ride, ride, ride little pony, ride, yeah

Shake, shake, shake, shake a tail feather, baby (whoo)

Shake, shake, shake, shake a tail feather, baby

One more time (whoo)

Shake, shake, shake, do the monkey-time, baby
