Runnin' to-and-fro, hard
Workin' at the mail
Never fail, get the mail
Yeah, some rotten deal, ow!

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to invite 'em again

Say me, talkin' to me
Tryin' to run me up a creek
She used to buy one
Try to pay me again next week, ow!

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to invite 'em again

Long-haired, good-lookin'
Tryin' to get me hooked
Or me to marry, settle down
Get the horn by the bull, ow!

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to invite 'em again

Mediocre money
Bein' fightin' in the hall
Army bunk, Army go
Army chow, Army cook, ow!

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to invite 'em again

Same thing every day
Gettin' up, goin' to school
No need to make complainin'
My objection's overruled, ow!

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to invite 'em again

Workin' in the fillin' station
Too many tires
Wipe the windows, check the tire
Check the oil and all the gas, ow!

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Don't want your moderation, get away, leave me
