Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're the people, the lucky with the fragile bones
The ones who sit and worry about gettin' too old
We're the people, the happy with the broken hearts
The ones who draw a picture and proclaim that it's art
[Verse 2]
But you, and you, and you, and you
You're just an animal developed into
You, and you, and you, and you
A monkey needs to dance, so do you
[Verse 3]
We're the people, the lucky with the fragile bones
The ones who sit and worry about catchin' a cold
We're the people, the happy with the broken hearts
The ones who draw a picture and proclaim that it's art
[Verse 4]
But you, and you, and you, and you
You're just an animal developed into
You, and you, and you, and you
A monkey needs to dance, so do you
[Verse 5]
You like to do it as a child on your own
You're in the jungle and the monkeys
Take your mind from your home
How many times do they have to tell you
That it's perfectly fine for you to dance around
Naked when you're all by yourself?
[Verse 6]
'Cause you, and you, and you, and you
You're just an animal developed into
You, and you, and you, and you
A monkey needs to dance, so do you
[Verse 7]
We're the people, the lucky with the fragile bones
The ones who sit and worry about gettin' too old
You're the monkey in the jungle trying to find your place
The one who let the sunset bring a silly kinda smile on your face
[Verse 8]
But you, and you, and you
You're just an animal developed into
You, and you, and you, and you
A monkey needs to dance, so do you
[Verse 9]
You like to do it as a child on your own
You're in the jungle and the monkeys
Take your mind from your home
How many times do they have to tell you
That it's perfectly fine for you to dance around
Naked when you're all by yourself?
[Verse 10]
'Cause you, and you, and you, and you
You're just an animal developed into
You, and you, and you, and you
A monkey needs to dance, so do you
[Verse 11]
A monkey needs to dance, so do you
