[Verse 1:]
Runnin' to-and-fro
Hard workin' in the mill
Never fail in the mail
Yeah, come a rotten bill

[Chorus:]
Too much monkey business[x3]
For me to be involved in!

[Verse 2:]
Salesman talkin' to me
Tryin' to run me up a creek
Says you can buy it, go on try it
You can pay me next week, ahh

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Blond hair, good lookin'
Tryin' to get me hooked
Want me to marry, get a home
Settle down, write a book

[Chorus]

[Verse 4:]
Every day, same thing
Gettin' up, goin' to school
No need for me complaining
My objection's overruled, ahh

[Chorus]

[Verse 5:]
Telephone, something wrong
Dime gone, will mail
Oughtta sue the operator
For telling me a tale, ahh

[Chorus]

[Verse 6:]
I been to Yokohama
Been fightin' in the war
Army bunk, army crew
Army food, army corps, aah

[Chorus]

[Verse 7:]
Workin' in the fillin' station
Too many tasks
Wipe the windows, check the tyres
Check the oil, a dollar gas

[Chorus]
