Monkey Business
Ben & Lex Lyrics

Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Tell me whatchu know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business

Please don't text and please don't call

I don't want to see your face at all
I wanna live my life so let it be
So get your ass away from me
Monkey business, mo- monkey business
Tell your friends to be my witness
If I have to see your ass at Christmas you'd fill my stomach with sickness
Monkey business, mo- monkey business
I need to keep your ass at a distance
You know that I'm not religious
But when you talk I wanna pay God a visit
Cause you know that I'm so delicious
Leave you wet just like a nimbus
And if this song started off too vicious
You'll be glad
Cause I'm finished

Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Tell me whatchu know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business
Whatcha know 'bout the monkey business

What the fuck did we just make
I have no idea
