[Verse 1]
Well Lord have mercy
Well Lord have mercy
This ain't no good for me
This ain't no good for me, babe
Well Lord have mercy
Well Lord have mercy
Ain't no good for me, babe
Tell me what is going down, babe
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I want to say it
It is just too much for me
I don't ever want to say it
'Cause it's all blasphemy
Everybody is doing it to somebody's love
In sight of me
I might tell on you
So don't you start no stuff with me
[Chorus]
Your brother's got kids with your mother-in-law
I might drop dead about what I saw, oh Lord (Hee hee) (Hee hee, oh yeah)
I caught your mother, she was doin' the do
You can't lie 'cause I was looking right at you (Oh Lord)
Stop it, it's too much
Monkey Business going down (Hee hee)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) (I caught you doin' it, ooh! Hee!)
[Verse 2]
Well Lord have mercy
Well Lord have mercy
Don't be calling out "Mercy me" (Don't be calling out "Mercy me")
Don't be calling down babe (Don't be calling out "Mercy")
Said lord have mercy
Every day is the worst day
Don't be calling out "Mercy me" (Don't be calling out "Mercy me")
Don't be throwing down, babe (Don't be calling out "Mercy")
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I wanna say it
It is just too much for me
Everybody's doing it to somebody's love
It seems to me
I just can't believe the things I'm seeing
So just let it be
I might tell on you
So don't you start no stuff with me
[Chorus]
Your brother's got kids with your mother-in-law
I might drop dead about what I saw, oh lord (Hee, hoo hoo) (Doggone, doggone, hee hee) (Hee)
I caught your mother, she was doin' the do
You can't lie 'cause I was looking right at you, oh Lord
Stop it, it's too much
Monkey Business going down (Hoo)
[Bridge]
I read the paper
And I can't believe what's going 'round
Somebody's doing it to
Somebody's up, somebody's down
The government won't pay my taxes
And I'm really mad
My mouth might let it free
So don't you monkey shine with me
[Chorus]
Your brother's got kids with your mother-in-law
I might drop dead about what I saw, oh lord (Hee hee, oh yeah) (Hoo, hoo hoo, hoo hoo)
I caught your mother, she was doin' the do
You can't lie 'cause I was looking right at you, oh Lord (Doggone, baby)
You're dirty (Doggone), you're dirty (Doggone), dirty (Hee), dirty, babe
Your brother's got kids with your mother-in-law
I might drop dead about what I saw, oh lord (Hee, hee hee) (Hoo hoo, doggone) (You're a monkey, you're a monkey, you're a monkey)
Your brother didn't make it out the two times two
He's sitting 'round tellin' how he did it to you, oh Lord
Stop it, it's too much (Aah, too much)
Monkey Business going down
[Outro]
(Going down, babe)
Monkey business going down
(I'm not satisfied baby)
Monkey business going down
(You want to party)
Monkey business going down
(It's my business, your business is my business 'cause you know you're a monkey)
Monkey business going down
(I caught your mother she was doin' the do
You can't lie 'cause I was looking right at you, oh Lord)
Monkey business going down
(And monkey see, monkey do
You can't lie 'cause I was looking right at you, oh Lord)
Monkey business going down
Your business is my business
Your business is my business
Your business is my business
Monkey business going down
Your business is my business
Your business is my business
Your business
Too much for the kids, baby
It's monkey business going down
(Oh, babe... Doggone...)
