Lyrics:
I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around
I’m here on monkey business
and look what I found

Everybody get on board
I'm back in town
and I'm not leaving
’til the last joint has shut down
People tell me I'm a legend
round these parts
I start the party
and I end up breaking hearts

Bring me margaritas
champagne and red wine
We’re gonna have a party
where we all cross the line

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around
I’m here on monkey business
and look what I found

I’m not dealing with the real world
anymore
Been there, done that, came back
and I know the score

Flew in from the city
Just got into town
Checked into a new place
I can’t seem to settle down

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around
I’m here on monkey business
and look what I found

I’m here on funky business
Just playing around
I’m here on funky business
Look what I found

There are diamonds in the sky
that shine for me
Gonna pick them one by one
I guarantee

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around
I’m here on monkey business
Look what I found
Just playing around

Hanging from the rafters
I’m a chimpanzee
What I do for afters
you’ll just have to wait and see

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around

Bring me margaritas
champagne and red wine
We’re gonna to have a party
where we all cross the line

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around
I’m here on monkey business
and look what I found

Entered by the back door
Straight into the bar
Checking out the dance floor
Well I like who you are

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around
