LYRICS When the junkie man he breaks into your home He steals your laptop and your tablet and your phone But when you catch him just outside your kitchen door He's sniffin' and stumblin' and cryin' and mumblin' He's just gotta score (cuz he's) Keepin' up with his jones, He don't make any bones about it He's got to have that sweet, white candy, Every day Keepin' up with his jones, There ain't nobody can stop him So Mister you had better not stand in his way Mister you had better not stand in his way My neighbor lady is sweet to the bone But so damn lazy she won't stir to get the phone Just look at her cigarettes and see she needs more Whether four in the mornin' or pourin' or snowin' She's out to the store (she's just) Keepin' up with her jones, She don't make any bones about it She's got to have that bittersweet candy, Every day Keepin' up with her jones, There ain't nobody can stop her So Mister you had better not stand in her way Mister you had better not stand in her way Everybody's got their own jones Take it away they all weeps and moans You say mine's weird and I say it's not Makes me wonder what kind of jones you got Now it's four in the morning and I can't sleep I'd pray the lord but I'm afraid I'm in too deep When I smell them java beans I can't remain mild It's brewin' and drippin' I'm stewin' and twitchin' It's drivin' me wild (I'm just) Keepin' Up With My Jones, I don't make any bones about it I've got to have that hot black candy, Every day Keepin' Up With My Jones, There ain't nobody can stop me So Mister you had better not stand in my way Mister you had better not stand in my way

LYRICS I'm the Sheik of Araby, Your love belongs to me. At night when you're asleep, Into your tent I'll creep. The stars that shine above, Will light our way to love. You'll rule these sands with me, The Sheik of Araby.

about

After 3 years of playing together; busking, doing private parties, or playing such legendary Seattle venues as Café Racer or Seattle Jazz Vespers, Hobbit & Hare decided they wanted record their first release. But how to afford it?

Alas, Andrew "Sketch" Hare has passed on so there will be no full album.
I hope you'll still enjoy our little "single" at least as much as we did recording it.

Oh yeah... I know it says it's an album, but that's just because there's more than one track on it and we're so old we remember buying singles on 45 rpm vinyl with an "A side" and a "B side" song on them.

Also, we know it's the moral equivalent of a "dad joke" but we couldn't resist the opportunity to announce our "hit single" was for sale.

Thanks for being patrons of the arts!
