The Kinks
Too Much Monkey Business
[Verse 2]
Running to and fro, hard working at the mill
Never failed at the mill, yet come a rotten bill

[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you

[Verse 2]
Salesman talkin' to me, tryin' to run me up a creek
Says you can buy it, go on try it, you can pay me next week

[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you

[Verse 3]
Blonde-haired, good-looking, trying to get me hitched
And get me married, get a home, settle down by the book

[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you

[Verse 4]
Same thing every day, getting up, going to school
No need for me complaining, my objection's overruled
[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you, oh

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Yeah, payphone, something's wrong, dime gone, will mail
Oughta sue the operator for telling me a tale

[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you

[Verse 6]
Been to Yokohama, baby, fighting in the war
Army bunk, army chow, army clothes, army car

[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you

[Verse 7]
Working in the filling station, too many checks
Wipe the windows, check the oil, check the tires, dollar gas?
[Chorus]
Too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved with you

[Outro]
Well, bye bye
