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 while 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, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
So they say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, 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
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
But 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 they say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, 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
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
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again
Ooh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, oh
Ooh
Ah ah, ah
They say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, 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
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
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again
All again
The lyrics of Tones and I's "Dance Monkey" are reflective of the experience of an artist performing on the streets and seeking the approval of passersby.

The lyrics of the first verse convey a sense of awe as the singer observes the shining talent of the street performer. She envisions herself holding the performer's hands and encourages the performer to dance just one more time.
