  • The world is spinning too fast
    I'm buying lead Nike shoes
    To keep myself tethered
    To the days I've tried to lose
    My mama said to slow down
    You must make your own shoes
    Stop dancing to the music
    Of Gorillaz in a happy mood
    Keeping my groove on

    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump

    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump

    Here you go, get the cool
    Get the cool shoeshine
    Get the cool
    Get the cool shoeshine
    Get the cool
    Get the cool shoeshine
    Get the cool
    Get the cool shoeshine

    There's a monkey in the jungle
    Watching a vapor trail
    Caught up in the conflict
    Between his brain and his tail
    And if time's elimination
    Then we got nothing to lose
    Please repeat the message
    It's the music that we choose
    Keeping my groove on

    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump

    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump (la-la, la-la)
    They do the bump

    Okay, bring it down here
    We'll come back out

    Get the cool
    Get the cool shoeshine
    Get the cool
    Get the cool shoeshine
    Get the cool
    Get the cool shoeshine
    Get the cool
    Get the cool shoeshine

    They do the bump
    They do the bump
    They do the bump
    They do the bump Writer/s: Damon Albarn, Jamie Hewlett

  • Sigma Got The Music from Sugargrove Watthis sounds like roomba cat
  • Nathaniel Harvey from United States"There's a monkey in the jungle, watching a vapor trail, caught up in a conflict between his brain and his tail." is how the line goes.
  • Moosehead from Scagree with the above. the remix is what got me into the gorillaz
  • Phil Coder from UkUm, this song is not in 5/4 time...
  • Pokeman42 from Baltimore, MdWhat does the sign "Salvation next exit" have to do with the song?
  • Jonathan from Johnstown, Pa@K, it would be pronounced "Five-Four." The song is named after the time signature it is in, and time signatures are always spoken top number-bottom number. (i.e. Four-Four, Six-Eight)
  • Megan from Stevenson, AlI LOVE THIS BAND! They're sooo CRAZY, but that's what I love about them! Every song they sing...is great! I <3 Damon!
  • K from Nowhere, OnI'm actually more curious as to how one should say "5/4" but I do really love this song :)
  • Dragon from Victoria, Bcthis song is about brainkess idiots who follow trends and have no idividuallity. pop or popular
    who get the new cool shoes and dont know why theyre cool. (because everybody esle has them)
  • Glen from Estero, FlThe Song is called "19-2000" because Damon Albarn always liked saying "It goes 1998, 1999, and 19-200"
  • Julian from Waukegan, IlI love this song. It was on FIFA and i used to play this song all the time lol
  • Kane from Wytheville, Vathis song was on a winter fresh commercial too.
