Monkey Time

Now there's a place right across town

Whenever you're ready (Whenever you're ready)

The people gather round

Whenever you're ready (Whenever you're ready)

And then the music begins to play now

I said, "Automatic, be on your way"

Are you ready now? Are you ready now?

You got soul 'cause I got mine

For the Monkey Time (Monkey Time)

Now there's a dance that the people do

I don't know how it started (Know how it started)

All I know is when the beat gets revealed

It's hard to depart it (Hard to depart it)

And then the music begins to play now

I said, "Automatic, be on your way"

Are you ready now? Are you ready now?

You got soul 'cause I got mine

For the Monkey Time (Monkey Time)

Do the Monkey, yeah

Come on, James

Monkey now, yeah

Come on and do it now

Ah yeah, get to it now

Look here now

Are you ready now? Are you ready now?

You got soul 'cause I got mine

For the Monkey Time

Do the Monkey, yeah

Come on now

Come on, let me see you climb that tree one time now

Ah yeah, get up and climb that tree now

Come on, peel that banana now

Eat it all up now

Ah yeah, now scratch all those fleas off your back

Yeah, let me see you swing on that vine one time

Swing on that vine one time, baby

Ah yeah, come on and Monkey now, ah yeah

Come on and do it now, ah yeah

But you can get to it now
