Songtexte: Chuck Berry. Too Much Monkey Business.
Running to and fro
Hard working at the mail
Never fail in the mail
Yet come a rotten deal
{Refrain:}
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
Say you can buy it
Go and try it
You can pay me next week
Hah!
{au Refrain}
Blond-haired, good-looking
Trying to get me hooked
Want me to marry
Get a home
Settle down
Write a book
Hah!
{au Refrain}
Same thing every day
Getting up, going to school
No need in me complaining
My objection's overruled
Hah!
{au Refrain}
[Interlude]
Pay phone
Something's wrong
Dime gone
Will mail
I ought to sue the operator
For telling me a tale
Hah!
{au Refrain}
Been to Yokohama
Been fighting in the war
Army bunk
Army chow
Army clothes
Army car
Hah!
{au Refrain}
Working in the filling station
Too many tasks
Wipe the windows
Check the tires
Check the oil
Dollar gas!
Hah!
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
I don't want your botheration
Get away, leave me be
Too much monkey business for me!
Hard working at the mail
Never fail in the mail
Yet come a rotten deal
{Refrain:}
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
Say you can buy it
Go and try it
You can pay me next week
Hah!
{au Refrain}
Blond-haired, good-looking
Trying to get me hooked
Want me to marry
Get a home
Settle down
Write a book
Hah!
{au Refrain}
Same thing every day
Getting up, going to school
No need in me complaining
My objection's overruled
