Monkey On Your Back

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
