Monkey on Your Back

歌詞

Let me tell you a story About two kids in the city See they both have a problem with life And it isn't very pretty There's a kid called Timmy He used to be pretty witty But then too many rides on the horse Got him hooked and it's a pity Cause now he's got a monkey He's got a monkey can't fight it Monkey On his back he can't deny it Monkey He found a dragon that bites A hole in his arm at night Where all the money goes Monkey, monkey on his back Monkey, monkey on his back A dirty monkey Well there's a girl called Sally She walks the streets in the city She works down on the corner every night Gives her money up to Willy You see her man's Big Willy And when he met her she was pretty But he gave her a habit that she didn't want Now that's a pity Cause now she's got a monkey She's got a monkey can't fight it Monkey She's gotta walk the streets to buy it Monkey She found a dragon that bites A hole in her arm at night Where all the money goes Monkey, monkey on his back Monkey, monkey on his back A dirty monkey Well now listen everybody Cause there's a moral to the story Clean up your act Get the monkey off your back Or you'll be sorry Keep yourself clean Cause the monkey plays mean He'll put a knife in your back Then the man in the black Will show you a dragon that bites And you'll wind up with a Monkey, monkey on your back Monkey, monkey on your back Monkey, monkey on your back Monkey, monkey on your back
