Major Lance - The Monkey Time (Mono) 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)

Now the dance that the people do I don't know how it started
All I know is 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

Do the monkey, yeah
(Do the monkey time)
Do the monkey, yeah
(Do the monkey time)

Twist them hips, let your backbone slip
Now move your feet, 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 this dance that the people do I don't know how it started
All I know is 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
(Monkey time)

Do the monkey, yeah
(Monkey time)
Do the monkey, yeah
(Monkey time)
Give me a big strong line
(Monkey time)
You're lookin' real fine
(Monkey time)
