I said do the monkey
Do the monkey
Monkey, monkey

Do the shake shake
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, darling

Ooby-da-doo-da-dae
Ooby-da-doo-da-dae
That's alright

Do the chicken
Funky, funky chicken
Chicken baby
That's alright

Do the hula
Hula, hula
Hula, darling
That's alright

Ooby-da-doo-da-dae
Ooby-da-doo-da-dae
Ooby-da-doo-da-dae
That's alright

Ooby-da-doo-da-dae
Ooby-da-doo-da-dae
Ooby-da-doo-da-dae

Trivia[]

  • In 1994, The Wiggles adapted this song into an animal action song for kids called The Monkey Dance. The added animals were the elephant and tiger. And in the chorus, instead of "Ooby da do da day" the line was "Jump to the front and back".
