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
