[Verse 1]
Salesman talking to me tried to run me up a creek
Says you can buy it, go on try it, you can pay me next week
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho

[Chorus]
Blonde haired, good looking trying to get me hooked
Wants me to marry, settle down and get a home and write a book
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho

[Verse 2]
Pay phone, something wrong, dial gone
Well me ought to sue the operator for telling me a tale
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho

[Break]
Oh-ho-ho Oh-ho-ho Oh-ho-ho Oh-ho-ho

[Verse 3]
Been to Vietnam, been a fighting in the war
Army bar, army chow, army clothes, army car
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho
[Verse 4]
Working in the filling station, too many tasks
Wipe the window, check the tires, check the oil, dollar gas
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho

[Chorus]
Blonde haired, good looking trying to get me hooked
Wants me to marry, get a home, settle down and write a book
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho

[Outro]
Too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho, too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho
Too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho
Too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho
