Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're designed so intelligent
Ain't no way that was an accident
Come on, shake your monkey hips
My pretty little creationist, oh, yeah!
[Verse 2]
Ain't gonna anthropomorphize ya
Or perversely polymorphisize ya, yeah
[Verse 3]
Little girl, you look so sweet
You gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child
[Verse 4]
You just started ten thousand years ago
Presto, Adam and Eve and go, man, go
Abel died, Cain took his life
And headed straight to the jungle to find a wife, wow!
[Verse 5]
Non-believers blame it all on apes
It's monkey time, I wanna see you shake
[Verse 6]
Evolution is obsolete
You gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child
Stomp your hands and clap your feet
You gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child
[Verse 7]
One more time, yo
It's monkey time
[Verse 8]
Come on, pretty baby, won't you take a chance?
Be my natural selection, dance, dance, dance
Exorcise your demons with that monkey grin
'Cause we're gonna inherit the wind
[Verse 9]
Let 'em fight it out in the Supreme Court
That's such a manly indoor sport
Wave your arms and legs in the air
Rock it like a monkey, like ya just don't care
[Verse 10]
Evolution is so obsolete
Gotta stomp your hands and clap your feet, come on!
[Verse 11]
You gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey
You gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child
Dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child
Dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey
