Lyrics

[Verse 1] Running to-and-fro, hard working at the mill Never fail, in the mail, yeah come a rotten bill [Chorus] Too much monkey business, too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be involved in [Verse 2] Salesman talking to me, trying to run me up a creek Says you can buy, go on try it You can pay me next week, ahh! [Chorus] Too much monkey business, too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be involved in [Verse 3] Blonde haired, good looking trying to get me hooked Want me to marry, get a home Settle down, write a book, ahh! [Chorus] Too much monkey business too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be involved in [Verse 4] Same thing every day getting up, going to school No need for me complaining, my objection's overruled, ahh! [Chorus] Too much monkey business, too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be involved in [Verse 5] Pay phone, something wrong, dime gone, will mail I ought to sue the operator for telling me a tale, ahh! [Chorus] Too much monkey business, too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be involved in [Verse 6] Been to Yokohama been fighting in the war Army bunk, Army chow, Army clothes, Army car, ahh! [Chorus] Too much monkey business, too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be involved in [Verse 7] Working in the filling station, too many tasks Wipe the windows, check the tires Check the oil, a dollar gas, ahh! [Chorus] Too much monkey business, too much monkey business I don't want your botheration, get away, leave me be!
