Huhuuuhuhuhuhuuuuuuh, hu!
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 scratch just like a monkey
Yeah ya do, real cool
You slide it to the limbo
Yeah, how low can you go?
Now come on baby, come on baby!
Don't fall down on me now
Just move it right here to the Harlem Shuffle
Huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem Shuffle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem Shuffle
Meooow. Ooh haoooh!
Hitch me hitch hike baby, across the floor
Whow, whow, whow, I can't stand it no more
Now come on, baby [oh, come on baby!], now get into your slide
Just ride, ride, ride little pony ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem Shuffle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem Shuffle
[Do the Monkey Shine]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, shake your tail feather, baby
[Shake shake, shake shake yeah!]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, shake your tail feather, baby
Huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem Shuffle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do the Harlem Shuffle
Yeah, like your momma told you how
Yeah, yeah, yeah, huh, do the Harlem Shuffle
Do it, do it do your own, own shine

The Righteous Brothers were a musical duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, hailing from Orange County, California. They were originally members of The Paramours but began performing as a duo in 1962 after breaking off from the group.

Their first hit track was “You’ve Lost That Lovin' Feelin” but they released many other hits during their career.

The duo was active through the 1960s and 70s, and after a long split, they reunited in 1981 and performed up until Hatfield’s death in 2003. In 2016, Medley reformed the group with Bucky Heard.
