Verse 1: (guitar continues as per intro)

F
There's a place right across town, whenever you're ready
Where people gather 'round, whenever they're ready
Dm Am Gm
And then the music begins to play
Dm Am Gm
You feel a groove comin' on its way

Chorus:

Gm Am
Are you ready (are you ready)
Bb C
Well, you get yours, cause-a I got mine
F
For the Monkey Time (Monkey Time)

[repeat intro]
(Monkey Time)

Verse 2:

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

[Repeat chorus]

Bridge:

(F) Dm C F
Do the Monkey, yeah (do the Monkey Time)
(F) Dm C F
Do the Monkey, yeah (do the Monkey Time)

Dm Am Dm
Ah-twist them hips (twist them hips)
Am Dm Am Dm
Let your backbone slip (let your backbone slip)
Am Dm Am Dm
Now move your feet (move your feet)
Am Dm Am Dm Am
Get on the beat (get on the beat)

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro]
(Monkey Time)

[repeat verse 2]

[repeat chorus]

Coda [repeat intro riff to fade]:

Ah, do the Monkey, yeah
Give me a big strong line
You're lookin' real fine [fade]
