You move it to the left
Yeah, and 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
You make it last
You know scratch just like a monkey
Yeah you do real, yeah
You slide it to the limbo
Yeah, how low can you go?

Oh, come on baby
I don't want you to stumble now
You just groove it right here to the Harlem Shuffle

(Yeah, yeah, yeah do the harlem shuffle)
Oh, do the monkeyshiner
(Yeah, yeah, yeah do the harlem shuffle)

Hitch, hitch-hike 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 tailfeather, baby (whoo!)
Shake, shake, shake, shake a tailfeather, baby, one more time (whoo!)
Shake, shake, shake, shake, do the monkeyshine, baby
