The Yardbirds and Eric Clapton - Never Too Early

Too Much Monkey Business

I was out of school and fool hardy
Workin' in the mill
And everything in the mail
Yet they come around pay-day

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to pay 'em promptly

Sally, John and Jimmy
Tryin' to rob me of my quid
Said you can buy it on charge
And you can pay me next week

Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to pay 'em promptly
I finally had good luck
Johnny gave me hookah

Met a man he had to haul himself
Down right in pearl
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to pay 'em promptly

Well, everyday the same thing
Finally out of cold storage
If I'm makin' plenty now
I'll take just some and roll it all
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to pay 'em promptly

I telephoned Sally
Brought it down goin' well
Well, it's all screwed up
Now for tellin' me a tale
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to pay 'em promptly

I've been in Yokohama
Been fightin' in the war
I'm a buck
I'm a crew
I'm a fool
I'm a bore
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to pay 'em promptly

I workin' in the fillin' station
He'll do any task
Check the oil
Check the tyres
Check the dollar gas
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
For me to pay 'em promptly
Too much monkey business for me no.
