Game Size

Are you ready to dance through the night?
Baby, go into party Friday night.
Please show me your magic under the moonlight.


But, I'm surprised that party people laugh at me.
I don't know why?
Do you understand this move?
Tonight, everybody is watching me


"Monkey Dance" Monkey Dance like A star.
Shake your body!  Dancin' all night  "Monkey Dance".
Let's spin together on da floor. Yo Baby!
"Monkey Dance" Monkey Dance like me yeah!
Move your body! Dancin' all night "Monkey Dance".
Look at them. Get into the rhythm woo tonight!
