Hollies - Look Out Johnny текст песни

(sylvester / clarke / hicks)

Johnny was a pusher on the east side

Pushing anything to be pushed

Laid something on a guy who didnt get high

Didnt 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 theres a monkey on your back

You better beware there johnny

cause the monkeys packin a gat

Drivin over red lights speeding down the freeway

Johnny johnny get away

You better beware there johnny

Theres a monkey on your back

Johnny thought hed 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"

Chorus

You better beware there johnny

Theres a monkey on your back

Be good

You better beware there johnny

Theres a monkey on your back

Look out johnny cos the monkeys packin a gat

Drivin over red lights speeding down the freeway

Johnny johnny get away

You better beware there johnny

Theres a monkey on your back

Look out johnny theres a monkey on your back

(repeat)
