Lyrics[]
The world is spinning too fast
I'm buying lead Nike shoes
To keep myself tethered to the days I 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
Keepin' my groove on
La, la, la, la x3
La, la, la
La, la, la, la x3 (Here you go!)
La, la, la
Get the cool (Get the cool)
Get the cool shoeshine (Get the cool shoeshine)
Get the cool (Get the cool)
Get the cool shoeshine (Get the cool shoeshine)
Get the cool (Get the cool)
Get the cool shoeshine (Get the cool shoeshine)
Get the cool (Get the cool)
Get the cool shoeshine (Get the cool shoeshine)
There's a monkey in the jungle watching a vapour trail
Caught up in the conflict between his brain and his tail
And if time's elimination, then we've got nothing to lose
Please repeat the message, it's the music that we choose
Keepin' my groove on
La, la, la, la x3
La, la, la
La, la, la, la x3
La, la, la
Get the cool (Get the cool)
Get the cool shoeshine (Get the cool shoeshine)
Get the cool (Get the cool)
Get the cool shoeshine (Get the cool shoeshine)
Get the cool (Get the cool)
Get the cool shoeshine (Get the cool shoeshine)
Get the cool (Get the cool)
Get the cool shoeshine (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
Get the cool
Get the cool shoeshine
Here you go!

Trivia[]
- This song is the second Spacemonkeyz track ever made, after "Tomorrow Dub" (which later became "Bañana Baby") and was first released as an early, shorter and sparser version on a promo acetate with only 10 copies in existence with the names "19-2000 (Darren Mix)" (referring to Darren Galea, the author of some of the first Spacemonkeyz remix and member of the Spacemonkeyz themselves) and "19-2000 (Space Monkey Mix)". This version was featured on the Phase 1 Gorillaz website, by visiting the carpark, entering Murdoc's Firebird and selecting the "19-2000 Dub" track on the cassette player.[2]
