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

Salesman talking to me
Trying to run me up a creek
Say you can buy it
Go on, try it
You can pay me next week

[repeat CHORUS]

Blond haired, good looking
Trying to get me hooked
Want me to marry, get a home
Settle down, write a book

[repeat CHORUS]

Same thing every day
Getting up, going to school
No need in me complaining
My objection's overruled

[repeat CHORUS]

Pay phone, something wrong
Dime gone, will mail
I ought to sue the operator
For telling me a tale

[repeat CHORUS]

Been to Yokohama
Been fighting in the war
Army bunk, army chow
Army clothes, army car

[repeat CHORUS]

Working in the filling station
Too many tasks
Wipe the windows
Check the tires
Check the oil, dollar gas

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
I don't want your botheration
Get away, leave me be

Too much monkey business for me
