How many monkeys are hangin out on my back
if they were ducks it’d be a deafening quack
i gotta get em all offa me right now
i’d do it myself but i just don’t know how
Too many monkeys crawlin round on my back
i can feel em scratch, bite, leavin tracks
how many are there now
count em up and let me know
honey my head is getting ready to blow
too many monkeys
too little business
gotta get em offa my back
how many monkeys should there be on my back
these monkeys got my whole life all off track
countin up the numbers gotta add up to win
well you’ll just let other monkeys come in
how many monkeys do you want on your back
take all you want and seal em up in a sack
too many monkeys
too little business
please get em offa my back now
how many monkeys will you take off my back
if they’ll behave so cut em some slack
why don’t you take a few home with you
chain em all up and they’ll bother you too.
how many monkeys just fell on my back
i can hear em all groovin
and smoking some crack
be careful not to let any of em inside
cause they all way too loaded to run and hide
too many monkeys
too little business
gotta get em offa my back
how many monkeys are still on my back
i can hear em all singin amy’s back to black
see i just knew they weren’t trying to leave.
and i just knew they had some more jokes up their sleeves.
how many monkeys gonna stay on my back
i’ll have to just feed them,
just give em a snack
really I’d hoped they would all want to go
now i just gotta roll with the wild monkey flow
too many monkeys
too little business
gotta get em offa my back
