Lyrics

Alright, is everybody ready?
Alright now, here we go
A one, a two, a one, two
Lum-de-lum-de-lie
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
Lum-de-lum-de-lie
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
Oh
Alright yeah yeah
Well this cat named Mickey came from out of town, yeah
He was spreading the new dance all around
And in just a matter of a few days, yeah
His dance became the new teenage craze
And the people see him dancing, they begin to see
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
To see this cat do that monkey thing
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
It's really something to see
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
This cat named Mickey doing that monkey
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
C'mon let's do the Mickey's monkey, children
(Let's do the Mickey's monkey, children)
Yeah, let's do the Mickey's monkey, children
(Let's do the Mickey's monkey, children)
Lum-de-lum-de-lie
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
Oh-oh-oh, lum-de-lum-de-lie
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
Lum-de-lum-de-lie
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
Lum-de-lum-de-lie
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
Oh-oh-oh
Monkey see, monkey do
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
C'mon you can do the monkey too
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
C'mon doing the Mickey's monkey, children
(Doing the Mickey's monkey, children)
Yeah you're doing Mickey's monkey, children
(Doing the Mickey's monkey, children)
Lum-de-lum-de-lie
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
Lum-de-lum-de-lie
(Lum-de-lum-de-lie)
Do the monkey (Do the monkey)
Mickey's monkey (Mickey's monkey)
Oh, do the monkey (Do the monkey)
Mickey's monkey (Mickey's monkey)
Mickey's monkey (Mickey's monkey)
Mickey's monkey (Mickey's monkey)
One more time, lum-de-lum-de-lie...
