Artist/Band: The Beatles
Lyrics for Song: Too Much Monkey Business
Lyrics for Album: Live At The Bbc



Running to and fro,

hard working at the mill,

never failed at the mill,

there come a rotten bill.

Aw too much monkey business,

too much monkey business,

too much monkey business

for me to be involved again.



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.

Aw too much monkey business,

too much monkey business,

too much monkey business

for me to be involved again.



Blonde hair, good-looking,

trying to get me hooked and married

Get a home, settle down by the book.

Too much monkey business,

too much monkey business,

too much monkey business

for me to be involved again.



Been to Yokohama, baby,

fighting in the war,

Army bunk, army chow,

army clothes, army car.

Too much monkey business,

too much monkey business,

too much monkey business

for me to be involved again.



Same thing every day,

getting up, going to school.

No need for me complaining,

my objection's overruled.

Aw too much monkey business,

too much monkey business,

too much monkey business

for me to be involved again.



Working in the filling station,

too many tasks,

Wipe the windows, check the oil,

check the tires, dollar gas?

Aw too much monkey business,

too much monkey business

Don't want you by the race,

get away and leave me.


Too Much Monkey Business

Recorded live at the BBC in 1963, "Too Much Monkey Business" stands as a quintessential example of The Beatles' early studio and live experimentation. Captured during a session that featured the band's first public performance, the track showcases their rapid evolution from skiffle revivalists to innovative pop artists. The song's frenetic energy and complex chord progressions reflect the group's growing confidence in manipulating sound, a hallmark of their subsequent work. As part of the "Live At The Bbc" collection, this recording highlights the band's dynamic interplay and the raw, unpolished charm of their live performances, offering a glimpse into the creative process that would define the British Invasion.
