Lyrics
(Do-do-doo-do)
(Do-do-doo-do)
There's a dance goin' 'round they call the eighty-one (eighty-one)
Everybody's doin' it whether they are old or young (old or young)
Because you're tired of doin' the monkey (monkey)
Tired of doin' the swim
So, if you wanna have some fun
Come on and dance, dance, dance
Do the 81 (do the eighty-one)
'Cause it's so fun ('cause it's so fun)
In a big boss line (in a big boss line)
Let's do it one more time! (do it one more time)
My momma said she's gonna buy herself some dancin' shoes (dancin' shoes)
And all you need is to feel the beat to get with the groove (with the groove)
Well, it's better than the cha-cha (cha-cha)
Better than the swim
Everybody, come, join in
And dance, dance, dance
Do the 81 (do the eighty-one)
'Cause it's so fun ('cause it's so fun)
In a big boss line (in a big boss line)
Let's do it one more time! (do it one more time)
I know you're tired of doin' the monkey (monkey)
Tired of doin' the swim
So come along and join the fun
And dance, dance, dance
Do the 81 (do the eighty-one)
'Cause it's so fun ('cause it's so fun)
In a big boss line (in a big boss line)
Let's do it one more time! (do it one more time)
Do the 81 (do the eighty-one)
'Cause it's so fun ('cause it's so fun)
In a big boss line (in a big boss line)
Let's do it one more time! (do it one more time)
'Cause it's so fun (do the eighty-one)
In a big boss line (do the eighty-one)
