Monkey Time

(album: Outside Help - 1978)

There's place right across town
Where the dancing is steady
Where people gather round whenever they're ready
And then the music begins to play
You feel a fool standing round this 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 that when it's feeling 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, well you get yours,
'Cause I got mine, for the monkey time

Do the monkey yeah twist them hips
Let your back bone 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
Do the monkey, yeah
Give me a big strong line
You're looking real fine
