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!

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!

Too much monkey business for me
