Monkey Business

(álbum: Earth Music - 1967)

Running to-and-fro, hard working 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 talking to me, trying to run me up a creek
Says you can buy now, gone try, you can pay me next week, ah
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in

Blond have good looks, 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

Same thing every day, getting up, going to school
No need for me to complain, my objection's overruled, ah
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, ah
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in

Been to Yokohama, been fighting in the war
Army bunk, Army chow, Army clothes, Army car, ah
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 tires, check the oil, dollar gas, ah
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
I don't want your botheration, get away, leave me

Too much monkey business for me
