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. 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 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 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 lookin' real fine
