Lyrics

Runnin' to and fro, hard workin' at the mail Never fail with the mail, still they get my posted bail Too much monkey business Too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be in by ten Someone talkin' to me, tryin' to run me up a creek Says, "You can buy it, come on, try it, you can pay me next week" Too much monkey business Too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be in by ten Blond haired good lookin', tryin' 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 in by ten Workin' in the fillin' station, too many checks Check the windows, check the tires, check the oil, goin' again Too much monkey business Too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be in by ten I been to Yokohama, been fightin' in the war Army bunk, army chow, army crew, army coat Too much monkey business Too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be in by ten Telephone something wrong, dial gone will mail Hours to the operator tellin' me a tale Too much monkey business Too much monkey business Too much monkey business for me to be in by ten Too much monkey business for me to be in by ten Too much monkey business for me to be in by ten
