Lyrics: Chuck Berry
Music: Chuck Berry
Played by Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby in 2012.
Running to and fro
Hard working at the mill
Never fail in the mail
Come a rotten bill
Chorus
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
Says you can buy it, go on try it
You can pay me next week
[chorus]
Blond hair, good looking
Tryin' to get me hooked
Want me to marry, settle down
Get a home, write a book
[chorus]
Been to Yokohama
Been a-fighting in the war
Army bunk, army clothes
Army chow, army car
[chorus]
Same thing every day
Getting up, going to school
No need to be complaining
My objection's overruled
[chorus]
Working in the filling station
Too many tasks
Wipe the windows, check the tires
Check the oil, dollar gas
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Don't want your botheration
Get away, leave me
