Its delicous the way your walking
Go easy on your toes
Theres a million and one different dances who do you know that knows
Theres a monkey in the family
It was trained by adam and eve
It was sold to your great grandad and grandma
And decided it wouldn't leave
I had to make the grass more greener
I had to make the sky more blue
I had to put a stop to the Jungle Jive team
So they don't do the dance with you When you grow up you'll moonstomp mi lady
To moonstomp is in your blood
You'll have to make a keen decision
But you'll know everything about love
Theres a monkey in the family
Swings from tree to tree
It never stops to see How your doing
It just has time to feed
Its delightful the way your walking
Be steady on those feet Stay away from the peppermint twist
Where the Humpty Humpers meet.
