don't monkey around with me

Do not try to trick me or tell me a lie; do not try to make a fool out of me; don't try to manipulate my emotions. Listen, pal, don't monkey around with me! Either pay your debts on time or we'll have to repossess your home. Don't monkey around with me—did I win the award or not?
