Too Much Monkey Business

(album: Five Live Yardbirds - 1964)

Running to-and-fro, hard working in 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 talking to me, trying to run me up a creek
Says you can buy it, go on try it, 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 hair, good looking, trying 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!

Every day, same thing, getting up, going to school
No need for me complaining, my objection's overruled, ahh
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in!

Telephone, something wrong, dime gone, will mail
Oughtta sue the operator, for telling me a tale, ahh
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in!

I been to Yokohama, been fighting in the war
Army bunk, army crew, army food, army corps, aah
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in!

Working in the filling station, too many tasks
Wipe the windows, check the tyres, check the oil, a dollar gas
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in!

Too much monkey business for me!
