Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Alright, is everybody ready?

Alright now, here we go

A one, a two, a one, two, three

Lum, de, lum, de, lie (Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

Lum, de, lum, de, lie (Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

Oh

Alright

Yeah

[Verse 3]

Well, this cat named Mickey came from out of town, yeah

He was spreadin' a new dance all around

And in just a matter of a few days, yeah

His dance became the new teenage craze

[Verse 4]

When the people see him dancin', they begin to see

(Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

To see this cat do that monkey thing

(Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

It's really somethin' to see

(Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

This cat named Mickey doin' that monkey

(Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

[Verse 5]

Come on, let's do Mickey's monkey, children

(Let's do Mickey's monkey, children)

Yeah, let's do Mickey's monkey, children

(Let's do Mickey's monkey, children)

[Verse 6]

Lum, de, lum, de, lie (Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

Oh, lum, de, lum, de, lie (Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

[Verse 7]

Lum, de, lum, de, lie (Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

Lum, de, lum, de, lie (Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

[Verse 8]

Oh, monkey see, monkey do

(Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

Come on, you can do the monkey too

(Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

Come on, yeah, doin' Mickey's monkey, children

(Doin' Mickey's monkey, children)

Yeah, they're doin' Mickey's monkey, children

(Doin' Mickey's monkey, children)

[Verse 9]

Lum, de, lum, de, lie (Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

Yeah, lum, de, lum, de, lie (Lum, de, lum, de, lie)

Do the monkey (Do the monkey)

Mickey's monkey (Mickey's monkey)

Oh, do the monkey (Do the monkey)

Mickey's monkey (Mickey's monkey)

Mickey's monkey (Mickey's monkey)

Mickey's monkey (Mickey's monkey)

One more time

Lum, de, lum, de, lie
