Monkey Time

Johnny Rivers

The music begins to play
Automatically you're on your way
Are you ready
You get yours, 'cause I got mine

There's place right across town
Where the dancin' is steady
Where people gather round
Whenever they're ready
And then the music begins to play
You feel a fool standin' round this way
Are you ready (are you ready)
You get yours, 'cause I got mine
For the monkey time (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 it's feelin' good
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)
You get yours, baby, I got mine
For the monkey time (monkey time)

Do the monkey - yeah (the monkey time)
Do the monkey - yeah (the monkey time)

Twist them hips
Let your back bone slip (monkey time)
Move your feet (monkey time)
Get on the beat (monkey time)
Are you ready (are you ready)
You get yours, 'cause I got mine
For the monkey time (monkey time)
The monkey time (monkey time)

Give me a big boss line (monkey time)
You're lookin' real fine (monkey time)

Come on
Do the monkey - yeah (the monkey time)
Do the monkey - yeah (the monkey time)

Twist them hips (monkey time)
Let your back bone slip (monkey time)
Are you ready (monkey time)

Do the monkey - yeah (monkey time)
Do the monkey - yeah (monkey time)...
