Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Salesman talking to me, tried to run me up a creek
Said, "You can buy it, go on, try it, you can pay me next week"
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in, oh
[Chorus]
Blonde haired, good lookin,' tryin' to get me hooked
Want me to marry, settle down and get a home and write a book
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in, oh
[Verse 2]
Pay phone, somethin' wrong, dime gone
Well, me ought to sue the operator for tellin' me a tale
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in, oh
[Verse 3]
Been to Vietnam, been a-fightin' in a war
Army bar, army chow, army clothes, army car
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in, oh
[Verse 4]
Workin' in the fillin' station, too many tasks
Wipe the window, check the tires, check the oil, dollar gas
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in, oh
[Chorus]
Blonde haired, good lookin,' tryin' to get me hooked
Want me to marry, get a home, settle down and write a book
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in, oh
[Outro]
Too much monkey business, oh
Too much monkey business, oh
Too much monkey business, oh
