Blonde hair, good lookin'
Tryin' to get me hooked
On me to marry you,
I wanna settle down and write a book

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

Runnin' to and fro
Workin' hard at the mill
Never fails, in the mail, in comes the rotten bills

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

Simply talkin' to me
Tryin' to run me up the creek
So you can buy (a trike?)
You can pay me next week

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

(Interlude)

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

Pay phone, somethin' wrong
Doggone, will mail it
I 'otta sue the operator
Tellin' me a tale

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

Bin across the water
Bin a fightin' in the war
Army bunk, Army chow,
Army clothes, Army car

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

Workin' in the fillin' station
Too many tests
Wipe the windows, check the tires
Check the oil and the gas

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

Lord, there's too much monkey business
For me to be involved again
