The Monkey Time

Now there's a place right across town
Whenever you're ready
Where the 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? Yes I'm ready
You get yours, I got mine
For the monkey time, monkey time

Now this dance that the people do
Don't know how it started
All I know is when the beat brings the feel
it's hard to get parted

And then the music begins to play
And automatically you're on your way
Are you ready? Yes I'm ready
You get yours, I got mine
For the monkey time, monkey time

Do the monkey, yeah
Do the monkey, yeah
Do the monkey, yeah, yeah
Do the monkey, yeah, yeah

Twist them hips
Let your backbone slip
Now move your feet
Get on the beat

Are you ready? Yes I'm ready
Are you ready? Yes I'm ready
Are you ready? Yes I'm ready
You get yours, I got mine
For the monkey time

Are you ready? Yes I'm ready
Are you ready? Yes I'm ready
Are you ready? Yes I'm ready
You get yours, I got mine

Say Fee, yes partner
Are you ready tonight? I'm ready
You're ready for what, man?
I'm ready to do the monkey, baby

You ready for my monkey?
I'm ready and my monkey's ready
Your monkey?
Ooo, you'd better put that baby on a chain

My monkey know what he talkin' about
And he's gonna jump all over you
Now stop it Fee
I don't wanna hear about it no more

Want a whole lot o' love tonight
Treat your monkey right
Want a whole lot o' love tonight
Monkey time tonight

Want a whole lot o' love tonight
Treat your monkey right
Want a whole lot o' love tonight
Monkey time tonight
