[Verse 1]
Running to-and-fro, hard working at the mill
Never fail, in the mail, boy, you get a rotten bill, ah

[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
Said, "You can buy, go on try it, you can pay me next week"

[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 tryna get him hooked
Want him to marry, get a home and settle down and write a book, ha

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

[Bridge]
Go, Keith, go, go, go
[Verse 4]
Same thing every day, getting up, going to school
No need in you complaining, your objection's overruled, yeah

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

[Verse 5]
Pay phone, something wrong, dime gone, will mail
I oughta sue the operator, she telling me a tale

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

[Verse 6]
I been to Yokohama, I been a-fighting in the war
Army bunk, Army chow, Army clothes, Army car, ahh

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

[Verse 7]
Working in the filling station, too many tasks
Wipe the windows, check the tires, check your oil, no gas, ha
[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
