Major Lance - The Monkey Time Lyrics

There's a place right across town
Whenever you're ready
Where people gather 'round
Whenever they're ready
And then the music begins to play
You feel a groove comin' on its way

Are you ready, are you ready?
Well, you get yours, 'cause I got mine
For the Monkey Time
Monkey Time
Monkey Time

Now the dance that the people do
I don't know how it started
All I know that when the beat brings a feel
It's so 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
I do the Monkey, yeah the Monkey Time
I do the Monkey, yeah the Monkey Time

I twist them hips, twist them hips
Let your backbone slip, let your backbone slip
Now move your feet, move your feet
Get on the beat, get on the beat

Are you ready, are you ready?
Well, you get yours, 'cause I got mine
For the Monkey Time
Monkey Time
Monkey Time

Now the dance that the people do
I don't know how it started
All I know that when the beat brings a feel
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
Monkey Time

Do the Monkey, yeah
Monkey Time
Give me a big strong line
Monkey Time
You're lookin' real fine
