Salesman talking to me tried [bad word] 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, get a home, settle down  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
