[Ab]I do[Eb]n't want yo[Ab]u,
the [Eb]monkey, in my [Ab]business
[Eb]I don't wa[Ab]nt you, th[Eb]e monkey,
in my [Ab]business
You're the [Bb]bad that drives me crazy
[F]And I can[Bb]'t spend a pen[F]ny to feel this
[C]Softly, softly
Can't [F]af ford to buy that
[C]While I'm sitting in this old cha[F]ir
[C]Ain't got no room
Except to [F]catch the doily and the doily
[C]How to stomp that mon[F]key's tail
Ah -ha
