The Monkey Time - Major Lance
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 a 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 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 a I got mine
For the monkey time
Do the monkey yeah do the monkey time
Do the monkey yeah do the monkey time
Ah 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 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 a I got mine
For the monkey time monkey time
Ah do the monkey yeah
Give me a big strong line
You're lookin' real fine
