Major Lance-Monkey Time lyrics

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 (Monkey Time)   
 
  
  (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-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 (Monkey Time)   
 
  
  Ah, do the Monkey, yeah   
 
  
  Give me a big strong line   
 
  
  You`re lookin` real fine
