RICK ESTRIN AND THE NIGHT CATS * THE HITS KEEP COMING *
THE HITS KEEP COMING [LP]
PRE-ORDER BEFORE THE MAY 10 RELEASE DATE.
AUTOGRAPHED CDs ALSO AVAILABLE
Rick Estrin and his musically fearless Nightcats are modern blues at its most potent, with ten sparkling new originals ranging from from crisp, hooky retro-rock to intense, noirish blues, along with sublime interpretations of Muddy Water’s “Diamonds At Your Feet” and Leonard Cohen’s “Everybody Knows.” The songwriting is quick-witted throughout, and the band’s ensemble playing is infectious and jaw-dropping. “Estrin defines his own brand of hip. Superb harmonica work [and] the current litter of ‘Cats, including guitarist Kid Andersen, reigns as the best band anywhere. —Downbeat

LYRICS
I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
Now the monkey's off my back
But the circus is still in town
They call it monkey business
Cause the monkey's don’t play
You got to feed that monkey each and every day
He'll have you running the streets
Swinging from the vines
Monkey gets hungry on monkey time
I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
Now the monkey's off my back
But the circus is still in town
Now when I met that monkey he was a cute little guy
But it didn't take long he got gorilla-sized
He had me ripping and running trying to stay on the NOD
I tell you feeding that monkey was a full time job
I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
Now the monkey's off my back
But the circus is still in town
SOLO
The monkey's off of my back
But the circus ain't gone
Clowns and the side show freaks live on
The monkey is laying low as far as I can tell
But I know he's out there waiting and he's still alive and well
I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
Now the monkey's off my back
But the circus is still in town
SOLO
Don't you do what I did
You better do what I say
And if you see that monkey, run the other way
Jail house, nut house, sleeping on the ground
That's what you gonna get you let that monkey stick around
I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
Now the monkey's off my back
But the circus is still in town
SOLO
