Salesman talkin' to me try'n' to run me up a creek
Said "You can buy it, go on try it, you can pay me next week"
Uh-uh, too much monkey bus'ness, a-too much monkey bus'ness
A-too much monkey bus'ness for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho
Blonde hair, good lookin' try'n' to get me hooked
Wants me to marry, settle down and get a home and and write a book
Uh-uh, too much monkey bus'ness, a-too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho
Pay phone, somethin' wrong, dime gone,
Will mail oughtta sue the op'rator for tellin' me a tale
Uh-uh, too much monkey bus'ness, a-too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho
Oh-ho-ho ...... Oh-ho-ho ...... Oh-ho-ho ...... Oh-ho-ho
Been to Vietnam, been a fightin' in the war
Army bar, army chow, army clothes, army car
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho
Workin' in the fillin' station, too many tasks
Wipe the windo', check the tyres, check the oil, dollar gas
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
Oh-ho-ho
Blonde haired, good lookin' tryin' to get me hooked
Wants me to marry, get a home, settle down and and write a book
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in
