In this energetic and playful track, Pet Shop Boys explore themes of escapism and hedonism through a narrative centered on carefree indulgence. The protagonist seeks to escape the mundanity of everyday life by engaging in "monkey business," a metaphor for mischievous, uninhibited fun. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a character who revels in the nightlife, seeking out parties and social adventures without concern for consequences or societal norms. References to margaritas, champagne, and crossing lines emphasize the pursuit of pleasure and temporary liberation from reality. Ultimately, the song celebrates living in the moment and embracing spontaneity, highlighting the allure of abandoning responsibilities for unrestrained enjoyment.

Lyrics
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)
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 stop 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 (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)
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 (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)
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 all day
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 (monkey business)
Just playing around (look what I found)
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 (monkey business)
Just playing around (look what I found)
I'm here on monkey business (monkey business)
And look what I found (look what I found, monkey business)
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 (monkey business)
Just playing around (monkey business)
