You move it to the left, yeah
Then you go for yourself
You move it to the right, yeah
If it takes all night
Now take it kinda slow
With a whole lot of soul
Don't move it too fast
And make it last
You know you scratch just like a monkey
Yeah, you do, real, yeah
You slide into the limbo, yeah
How low can you go?
But, oh, come on, baby
I don't want you to scuffle now
You just groove it right here
To the Harlem shuffle
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do the Harlem shuffle
Oh, do the monkey shine now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do the Harlem shuffle
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hitch,
hitchhike, baby,
across the floor.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I can't stand it no more.
Now come on, baby.
Now get into your slide.
We're gonna ride, ride, ride,
little pony ride. Yeah.
Shake, shake, shake, shake
a tail feather, baby.
Woo! Shake, shake, shake,
shake a tail feather baby.
One more time.
Shake, shake, shake,
do the monkey time, baby.
