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
