[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
You can buy, go on try it
You can pay me next week
Oww!

[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, settle down
Get a home, write a book
Oww!

[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Been to Yokohama been fighting in the war
Army bunk, Army chow, Army clothes, Army car
Oww!

[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in

[Verse 5]
Same thing every day getting up, going to school
No need for me complaining, my objection's overruled
Oww!

[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in

[Verse 6]
Working in the filling station, too many tasks
Wipe the windows, check the tires
Check the oil, a dollar gas
Oww!
[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Don't want your botheration, get away, leave me
