Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You move it to the left
Yeah, 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
Just make it last
[Verse 2]
You scratch just like a monkey
Yeah, you do real cool
You slide it to the limbo
Yeah, how low can you go?
Now come on, baby
Don't fall down on me now
Just move it right here
To the Harlem shuffle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem shuffle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem shuffle
[Verse 3]
Hitch, babe
Hitch hike, baby
Across the floor
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
I can't stand it no more
Now come on, baby
Now get into your slide
Girl, just ride, ride, ride
Little pony, ride
[Verse 4]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem shuffle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem shuffle
Do the monkey shine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, shake a tail feather, baby
(Sh-shake, sh-shake)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, shake a tail feather, baby, woo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem shuffle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem shuffle
Yeah, like your mother told you how
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem shuffle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem shuffle
