[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I'm looking for monkey business (Monkey business)
Just playing around
I'm here on monkey business (Monkey business)
And look what I found (Look what I found)
[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
Everybody, get on board, I'm back in town (Monkey business)
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
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Bring me margaritas
Champagne and red wine
We're gonna have a party
Where we all cross the line
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I'm looking for monkey business (Monkey business)
Just playing around (Just playing around)
I'm here on monkey business (Monkey business)
And look what I found (Look what I found)
[Interlude]
[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
I'm not dealing with the real world anymore
When they're done, I came back, and I know the score
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Flew in from the city
Just got into town
Checked into a new place
I can't seem to settle down
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I'm looking for monkey business (Monkey business)
Just playing around (Just playing around)
I'm here on monkey business (Monkey business)
And look what I found (Look what I found)
[Refrain: Chris Lowe]
I'm here on funky business
Just playing around
I'm here on funky business
Look what I found
[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
There are diamonds in the sky that shine for me
Gonna pick them one by one, I guarantee
[Refrain: Chris Lowe]
I'm looking for monkey business
Just playing around
I'm here on monkey business
Look what I found, just playing around
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Hanging from the rafters
I'm a chimpanzee
What I do for afters
You just have to wait and see
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I'm looking for monkey business (Monkey business)
Just playing around (Look what I found)
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Bring me margaritas
Champagne and red wine
We’re gonna have a party
Where we all cross the line
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I'm looking for monkey business (Monkey business)
Just playing around (Look what I found)
I'm here on monkey business (Monkey business)
Look what I found (Look what I found, monkey business)
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Entered by the back door
Straight into the bar
Checking out the dance floor
Well, I like who you are
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I'm looking for monkey business (Monkey business)
Just playing around (Monkey business)
[Instrumental Outro]
I'm looking for monkey business (Monkey business)
Just playing around
I'm here on monkey business (Monkey business)
And look what I found (Look what I found)
