Too Much Monkey Business (lyrics)


Too Much Monkey Business - Chuck Berry

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.
Says you can buy now, gone try - 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 have good looks - tryin to get me hooked.
Want me to marry - get a home - settle down - write a book!
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 for me to complain - my objections overruled, ahh!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in!

Take home - something wrong - dime gone - will hold
Order suit - hoppered up for telling 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!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Dont want your botheration, get away, leave me!

Too much monkey business for me!!
