The Hollies

The Hollies are an English pop group formed in Manchester in the early 1960s, although the majority of the band members came from towns in East Lancashire. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and early 1970s. They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966. They had 30 charting singles on the UK Singles Chart, and 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, with songs including, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "Carrie Anne", "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" and "The Air That I Breathe". more »

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 
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" 

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, be good 

You better beware there, Johnny 
There's a monkey on your back
Look out Johnny, there's a 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 
You better beware there, Johnny 
There's a monkey on your back
Look out Johnny, there's a monkey on your back
