Runnin' to-and-fro, hard workin' at the mill.
Never fail in the mail, yeah, come a rotten bill.
Too much monkey business. Too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business, for me to be involved in!
Salesman talkin' to me, tryin' to run me up a creek.
Say, "You can buy go on 'n try it, you can pay me next week."
Ahh!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business, for me to be involved in!
Blond hair, good lookin', tryin' to get me hooked.
Want me to marry, get a home, settle down, write a book.
Ahh!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business, for me to be involved in!
Same thing every day, gettin' up, goin' to school.
No need of me to complainin', my objections overruled,
Ahh!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business, for me to be involved in!
[Instrumental break.]
Pay phone, somethin' wrong, dime gone, will mail.
Oughta sue the operator for tellin' me a tale.
Ahh!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business, for me to be involved in!
Been to Yokohama, been fightin' in the war.
Army bunk, army chow, army clothes, army car,
Aah!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business, for me to be involved in!
Workin' in the fillin' station, too many tasks.
Wipe the windows, check the tires, check the oil, dollar gas.
Ahh!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
I don't want your botheration, get away, leave me be!
[Instrumental break.]
