let’s pinch like a crab
lumber like an elephant
sing like a lark
hop like a kangaroo
slither like a snake
now do what you want to do
the monkey dance the monkey dance
shaky wiggle jiggle like a monkey dance
the monkey dance the monkey dance
ee ee ah ah ooh!
if you’re feeling cranky and drab
pinch pinch pinch get down like a crab
wiggle your tush from side to side
snap snap till you’re smiling wide
orrrr……
if you’re feeling slow and spent
lumber like an elephant
clasp your hands and sway your trunk
clomp your feet down thump thump
but if you’re feeling fine
wanna shake your behind
got ants in your pants
do the monkey dance the monkey dance
shaky wiggle jiggle like a monkey dance
the monkey dance the monkey dance
ee ee ah ah ooh!
if you’re feeling flighty and free
spread your wings and head to a tree
build your nest from twigs and bark
tweet tweet tweet sing like a lark
orrrr……
if your legs just need a break
slither on your belly like a snake
bask in the heat of the sun, it’s bliss
stick your tongue out hiss hiss
but if you’re feeling fine
wanna shake your behind
got ants in your pants
do the monkey dance the monkey dance
shaky wiggle jiggle like a monkey dance
the monkey dance the monkey dance
ee ee ah ah ooh!
let’s pinch like a crab
lumber like an elephant
sing like a lark
hop like a kangaroo
slither like a snake
now do what you want to do
if you’ve got new springy shoes
hop hop hop like a kangaroo
store your treasures in your pouch
just no jumping on the couch
but if you’re feeling fine
wanna shake your behind
got ants in your pants
do the monkey dance the monkey dance
shaky wiggle jiggle like a monkey dance
the monkey dance the monkey dance
ee ee ah ah ooh!
