(Berry)
Runnin' to and fro
Hard workin' at the mail
Never fail with the mails
Still they get my posted bail

[Chorus:]
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
C'mon try it
You can pay me next week

[Chorus]

Blond haired good lookin'
Tryin' to get me hooked
Want me to marry get a home
Settle down write a book oh

[Chorus]

Workin' in the fillin' station
Too many checks
Check the windows
Check the tires
Check the oil
Goin' again

[Chorus]

I been to Yokohama
Been fightin' in the war
Army bunk army chow
Army crew army coat

[Chorus]

Telephone something wrong
Dial gone will mail
Hours to the operator
Tellin' me a tale

[Chorus]

Too much monkey business
For me to be in by ten
Too much monkey business
For me to be in by ten
