Lyrics:

Running to-and-fro
Hard working 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 talking to me
Trying to run me up a creek
Says you can buy it; go on try it
You can pay me next week, ah!

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in

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

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in

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

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in


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

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in

I've been to Yokohama
Been fighting in the war
Army bunk, army chow
Army clothes, army corps, ah!

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in

Working in the filling station
Too many tasks
Wipe the windows; check the tires
Check the oil; a dollar gas, ah!

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
