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

The song of the year in my book. Deceptively upbeat lyrics regarding a grim topic......with a catchy, rock solid vocal and instrumental performance.
Rick and the Cat's are fantastic and one of the most durable blues acts around.
Rick sounds as great as ever and the Nightcats are a killer band!
I love these guys. Great playing, lyrics. I dig!
Best living blues singer & harp player. Plus, Rick has penned a great songbook & delivers consummate performances! ❤️🎶😎
Great song! I can relate!
Nice message Rick!! Don't let your guard down!🙏
What's not to like!!! Rick & his band are great!
Another classic from Rick and the Nightcats. Rick is a genius lyricist. Love this band. Can't wait for the cd release and a live show. Thank you Rick!
Can't wait to hear the complete album. This opener is great, lyrics and music is wild !
First heard this on B.B. King's Bluesville on XM radio. Great song!
Me also. Tell you, it makes me think when "we" were young. Thank goodness the most of us made it. Fabulous tune.
Being nobody from nowhere, I always appreciated when I was out somewhere normal, and Rick would stop and talk to me.
I haven't seen him for a while, so I thought I'd look through RUclips.
Damn, these guys are good, and good people.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! ❤
Fun fun fun! I'm ready for some Monkey Business. yeah baby
That bassline has such a groove, good fun time music.
Love it!
A KILLER SONG! Love it

PORTLAND, OREGON!
Saw them in Buffalo many times, San Diego , Philadelphia and Charlotte!
Świetny kawałek! Mam nadzieję że niedługo cała nowa płyta.
Also with Little Charlie Baty
Sounding very much like John Hiatt.
Reminds me of the Banana Splits band. They were okay for a show band, I guess.
HaHa...Do you remember Tracy the Gorilla from The Ghost Busters TV show circa 1970's?
@@MrStanleyMilton Yeah, great stuff. Lancelot Link was up there too. I remember Matta Hari yelling "Look out Lance, he's got a gun" in her chimpanzee style.
