“Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)” is a pop-rock song by The Monkees, featured on their 1967 album More of the Monkees. Written by THE LEGENDARY Neil Diamond, the song captures the bright, catchy energy that defined much of the group’s early work. Sung primarily by Davy Jones, it tells a lighthearted but relatable story of romantic indecision where the narrator is deciding between two women, Mary and Sandra, unsure of which one to choose. The lyrics blend humor and heartache, perfectly matching the Monkees’ television persona as charming, slightly bumbling pop idols.
Musically, the song features a driving beat typical of mid-1960s pop. Diamond’s timeless songwriting provides an infectious melody and sing-along chorus that made it an instant fan favorite. This song showcases the Monkees mix of bubblegum pop and early rock influences. Though sometimes overshadowed by bigger hits like Daydream Believer, I’m a Believer, or Last Train to Clarksville, ‘Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)’ remains a great example of the Monkees ability to combine clever songwriting with irresistible hooks.
