Let me tell you what you gotta do
You gotta break out from the human zoo
There's jungle fever in Africa tonight

Come as you are or as you wanna be
Us party animals are wild and free
Now even Masai's letting it all hang out tonight

Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh!
You got to move to the monkey music!
Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! Everybody!
Move to the monkey groove!

Cannibals serving fruit and brew
Hustlers mingling with the boys in blue
The rule is there are no laws at all

So Zulu shake your fanny move it all night long
Our party M.C is our friend King Kong
Now get down mama, get down now, get on the ball

Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh!
You got to move to the monkey music!
Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! Everybody!
Move to the monkey groove!

Everybody's swinging in the trees
Everybody's doing what they please
We're one big happy crazy family
Go ape!

Monkey see, monkey do! You do me, I do you!

Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh!
You got to move to the monkey music!
Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! Everybody!
Move to the monkey groove!
