Lyrics from official Fansite:

The world is spinning too fast I'm buying lead Nike shoes To keep myself tethered To the days I try to lose

My mama said to slow down You should make your shoes Start dancing to the music Of Gorillaz in a happy mood

Keep a mild groove on

Ba ba ba Day dee bop

There you go! Get the cool! Get the cool shoe shine!

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 got nothing to lose Please repeat the message It's the music that we choose

Keep a mild groove on

Ba ba ba Day dee bop

OK bring it down yeah we gonna break out Get the cool! Get the cool shoe shine!

Ah Ah Ah Ah

Day doo de bop

to happylittledemigod: I used to think the same thing, but it is get the cool shoeshine.

I think this song means sometime like: "You got all the time in thw world, slow down, take it easy, get the cool shoeshine."

I'll argue this one- It's "They do the bump" And, in between every 4th and 5th line (I think) is a "Polyester!" I honestly don't know, it just seems to fit better when I hear it.
