Lyrics:

You move it to the left, yeah and 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
You know you scratch just like a monkey yeah, you do real, yeah
You slide it to the limbo, yeah how low can you go?
Now come on, baby, I don't want you to scuffle now
Just groove it right here, do the Harlem Shuffle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem Shuffle (oh do the monkey shine)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem Shuffle

Hitch, hitch-hike baby across the floor

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I can't stand it no more

Now come on, baby, now get into your slide
You gonna ride, ride, ride little pony, ride, yeah
Shake, shake, shake, shake a tail feather, baby (whoo)
Shake, shake, shake, shake a tail feather, baby
One more time (whoo)
Shake, shake, shake, do the monkey-time, baby
