(Words & music by Chuck Berry)
  Salesman talking to me tried to run me up a creek
  Says 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-ho-ho
    Blonde haired, good lookin' tryin' to get me hooked
  Wants me to marry, settle down and get a home and 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-ho-ho
    Pay phone, somethin' wrong, dial 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-ho-ho
    Oh-ho-ho ...... Oh-ho-ho ...... Oh-ho-ho ...... Oh-ho-ho
    Been to Vietnam, been a fightin' in the 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-ho-ho
    Workin' in the fillin' station, too many tasks
  Wipe the windo', 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-ho-ho
    Blonde haired, good lookin' tryin' to get me hooked
  Wants me to marry, get a home, settle down and 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-ho-ho
  Too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho, too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho
  Too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho
  Too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho too much monkey business, Oh-ho-ho
