Look Out Johnny (there's A Monkey On Your Back) Lyrics - Hollies

Johnny was a pusher on the east side 

Pushing anything to be pushed 

Laid something on a guy who didn't get high 

Didn't know the guy was a hood 

Wheeling-dealing johnny got frightened 

Thought the best place was out of town 

Packed up his bags and threw them in the back 

Packed up his bags and threw them in the back 

Of his chevy put his foot flat down 

Look out johnny there's a monkey on your back 

You better beware there johnny 

'cause the monkey's packin' a gat 

Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway 

Johnny johnny get away

You better beware there johnny 

There's a monkey on your back 

Johnny thought he'd do something clever 

Turning south on the old coast road 

Pushing 94 swerving leaning on the door 

Trying to shake off his heavy load 

Crossed the state line feeling safer 

Drinking in the corner of a bar 

In walked a guy looked the barman in the eye 

Said "hey is johnny in here" 

You better beware there johnny 

There's a monkey on your back 

Be good

You better beware there johnny 

There's a monkey on your back 

Look out johnny 'cos the monkey's packin' a gat 

Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway 

Johnny johnny get away 

You better beware there johnny 

There's a monkey on your back 

Look out johnny there's a monkey on your back
