Alright, let's get down to business
Monkey business as a matter of fact
And this first one from The Yardbirds is really too, too much
I mean it
Well, I run to and fro, hard at work and in the mail
Never fail in the mail, get a couple rotten bails
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in
A blonde-haired, 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
Someone talking to me, trying to run me up a creek
Said goodbye, go and try it, you can pay me next week
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in
Well, every day's the same thing, getting up, going to school
People making fun of me, my objections are overruled
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in, alright
ย
Telephone, summer, fall, dime gone, will mail
Lawsuit, arbitration, bit of jail
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in
I've been to Yokohama, been fighting in the war
I'm a punk, I'm a crook, I'm a fool, I'm a bore
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in
Working in a filling station, too many tires
Spite the weather, check the tires, check the, the toilet gas
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in, alright
