Monkey Time - Archie Bell and The Drells

No there’s a place right across town

Whenever you’re ready

(Whenever you’re ready)

The people gather round

Whenever you’re ready

(Whenever you’re ready)

And the music begins to play now

I said automatically you are on your way

Are you ready now?

Are you ready now?

You got soul?

Cause I got mine

Cause it’s monkey time

(Monkey time)

Now there’s a dance that the people do

I don’t know how it started

(Know how it started)

All I know is when the beat gets real

It’s hard to be parted

(Hard to be parted)

And the music begins to play now

I said automatically you are on your way

Are you ready now?

Are you ready now?

You got soul?

Cause I got mine

Cause it’s monkey time

(Monkey time)

Do the monkey yeah

Come on and do it know

Don’t forget to do it now

Are you ready now?

Are you ready now?

You got soul?

Cause I got mine

Cause it’s monkey time

Do the monkey yeah

Come on now

Come on let me see you climb that tree one time

Oh yeah

Climb that tree now

Come one peel that banana now

Eat it all up now

Now scratch all those fleas off your back

Let me see you swing on that vine right now

Swing on that vine right there

Oh yeah ha ha

Come on and monkey now

Come on and do it now

If you can get to it now

Do the monkey
