Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine
You know you stopped me dead when I was passing by
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Ooh I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
So I say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh, oh, oh
I′ve never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say move for me, move for me, move for me, ay, ay, ay
And when you're done I′ll make you do it all again
I said oh my god I see you walking by
Take my hands, my dear, and look me in my eyes
Just like a monkey I've been dancing my whole life
And you just beg to see me dance just one more time
Ooh I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
So let's say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh, oh, oh
I′ve never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say move for me, move for me, move for me, ay, ay, ay
And when you′re done I'll make you do it all again
They say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I′ve never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say move for me, move for me, move for me, ay, ay, ay
And when you're done I′ll make you do it all again
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh oh, oh oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh oh, oh oh
They say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh, oh, oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say move for me, move for me, move for me, ay, ay, ay
And when you′re done I'll make you do it all again
They say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say move for me, move for me, move for me, ay, ay, ay
And when you′re done I′ll make you do it all again
All again
In Andie Case's song Dance Monkey, the singer addresses someone who has caught her attention with their shining personality and unique dance style. She confesses that this person makes her want to cry and begs them to dance for her just one more time. The singer then describes herself as a monkey who has been dancing her whole life, and proposes that the listener move and dance for her once again. The chorus repeats the lines "dance for me" and "move for me" as a plea for the listener to continue performing.
The lyrics of Dance Monkey can be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, they could be seen as a celebration of individuality and self-expression. The singer admires someone who stands out from the crowd and invites them to showcase their talent. On the other hand, the repeated requests for the person to dance and move could also be construed as objectification or pressure to perform.

I honestly think she's one of the best singers out there. She deserves much more recognition than what she has.
