Yardbirds, The - Too Much Monkey Business Lyrics






Runnin' to-and-fro, hard workin' in the mill
Never fail in the mail, yeah, come a rotten bill
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in!

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
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in!

Blond hair, good lookin', tryin' to get me hooked
Want me to marry, get a home, settle down, write a book
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in!

Every day, same thing, gettin' up, goin' to school
No need for me complaining, my objection's overruled, ahh
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in!

Telephone, something wrong, dime gone, will mail
Oughtta sue the operator, for telling me a tale, ahh
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in!

I been to Yokohama, been fightin' in the war
Army bunk, army crew, army food, army corps, aah
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in!

Workin' in the fillin' station, too many tasks
Wipe the windows, check the tyres, check the oil, a dollar gas
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to be involved in!

Too much monkey business for me!

  2. D.... K....

    All this shit about Clapton being racist, if you bothered to read the article you would know he was heavily medicated pretty much all the time. So the twat who referred to his sons tragic demise as karma read the fucking article before you pass judgement.

    Seriously stay off social media please

  3. b.... ....

    Keith Relf can certainly bring it!

  4. s.... ....

    I don't know. Sounds okay, but I don't think they'll ever amount to anything. Maybe they should cut their hair get jobs as accountants or something.

  5. t.... j....

    This is a great version...... When Chuck himself sings it he doesn't even bother to sing in tune.......

  6. A.... S....

    Subterranean homesick blues anyone

  7. m.... ....

    Love the solos so fast and noisy

  8. M.... S....

    Killer live album...still have my original vinyl copy..

  9. j.... ....

    eric doing his George Harrison stuff a couple of years later.....at least it was better than Kieth

  10. A.... W....

    Sorry I'm not too into this era of music.....but I'm a blues fan and do love clapton

  11. M.... S....

    The original song belonga to the yardbirds?

    M.... S....

    Marcos Salustiano Nope. The Kinks did it before them and it was a cover.

    M.... S....

    Chuck Berry original 1956 but covered by just about everybody.

    M.... S....

    No, it was originally done by Chuck Berry.

  12. M.... L....

    Did Eric Clapton ever play guitar with his teeth.I know his mentor Buddy Guy did.When Buddy Guy toured the U.K. in early 1965,Clapton who wrote the forward to Buddy Guy's book "I got the blues",Said "That Buddy Guy was the first guitar player he seen who played guitar with his teeth".

  13. a.... a....

    Esta buena cancion la canto y la compuso el gran CHUCK BERRY en el año 1956

  14. O.... J....

    el rey la mejor versión de todas elvis por siempre

    O.... J....

    Es muy aburrida

  15. B.... O....

    Those solos are crazy fast

  16. j.... v....

    Great old memories surrounding this whole LP 'Five Live Yardbirds', and this number opens this unique album splendidly...!

  17. S.... ....

    Best version , great intro !

  18. S.... B....

    Chuck berry

  19. h.... .....

    never forget,five,live,yardbirds!

  20. s.... ....

    Hard to believe such a tedious old fart like Clapton once sounded this feckin good eh.The solos,especially the 2nd,are insane.

    s.... ....

    Especially hard to believe considering how much he tips his cap to folks like Robert Johnson, ACTUALLY worked with BB King, Chuck Berry, Buddy Guy. And well.. he was right, England is a predominately white country in popularity and influence. Nothing prejudice about that.

    s.... ....

    +Stink Fistula That is one messed up comment to make about anybody's kid! How is a small child responsible for his or her parents sin or behavior? Should you have died when you were a kid for whatever your parents did wrong or thought that was not so nice? Again why should a child die for someone else's transgressions?

    s.... ....

    Stink Fistula steady on

    s.... ....

    @Stink Fistula no one deserves that, and you ought watch out for karma for being so crass

    s.... ....

    @Stink Fistula hey are you a parent, cos I hope to fuck this never happened to you, what a dick comment this is
