Runnin' to and fro
Hard workin' at the mill
Never fail in the mail
Here come a rotten bill

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 it
Go and try it
You can pay me next week"

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

Blond-haired, good looking
Tryin' to get me hooked
Want me to marry, buy a home
Settle down, write a book

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

Same thing everyday
Gettin' up, goin' to school
No need to be complainin'
My objections overruled, ah

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

Pay phone, somethin' wrong
Dime gone, will mail
I outta sue the operator
For tellin' me a tale

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, ah

Too much monkey business
