lyrics by joe kowalski
and he’s strutting his stuff
they can’t get enough
and when he struts his stuff
he finds he needs some loving
he’s needing something
he’s needing something
something good
(something good)
can you hear it?
can you hear it?
can you hear it?
he hears the call
don’t believe it
cats on leash
got to see it
cats on leash
the lady cats in heat
they’re calling out to me
they interrupt my meals
i can make a deal with them
they need something
and i need something
(something good)
can you feel it?
can you feel it?
i feel it all
don’t believe it
cats on leash
got to see it
cats on leash
the lady cats in heels
are gathered ‘round in heat
the lady cats in heels
are gathered ‘round in heat
we need what we need
when we need what we need it’s decreed
can you feel what i’m feeling?
don’t believe it
cats on leash
got to see it
cats on leash

lyrics by joe kowalski
no mere monkey
and he’s cold
i think he’s in canada
and it’s almost february
he’s no mere monkey
yeah he’s no mere monkey
carl with no hat
monkey in a coat
carl with no hat
monkey in a coat
monkey in a coat
there’s nothing funny
if you forget
to pick your friend up at two
and it’s almost ten o’clock
there’s nothing funny
yeah, there’s nothing funny
carl with no hat
monkey in a coat
carl with no hat
monkey in a coat
should i call a cab?
should i pick him up?
should i call a cab?
should i pick him up?
maybe flip a coin
maybe he’s okay
does he have a hat?
yeah
does he have a hat?
monkey in a coat
carl has a hat
monkey in a coat
carl has a hat
monkey in a coat
monkey in a coat
monkey in a coat

lyrics by joe kowalski
who is that garden gnome
why is he jumping ‘round
all in the the snowy drifts
and falling down?
and falling down?
he’s wrapped up tight
and bouncing all around
all snowy white
smiles all around the town
everybody loves macaque
he’s peeking from underneath the hood
and falling back on his ass
he’s a very happy guy
keeps falling down
keeps falling down
he’s wrapped up tight
and bouncing all around
all snowy white
smiles all around the town
everybody loves macaque
don’t you just love macaque?

lyrics by joe kowalski
hey, i think i see
yeah, he seems kinda real
there behind the wheel
now he’s looking at me
it’s a bow-tie duck
a bow-tie duck
a bow-tie duck
what the—
yeah, you see him too?
hey, he’s looking at you
i don’t think he knows what to do
behind the wheel
it’s a bow-tie duck
a bow-tie duck
a bow-tie duck
what the—
i hope he can’t drive
i hope he can’t drive
(I’M WATCHING YOU!)
i hope he can’t drive
(HEY! YOU!)
i hope he can’t drive
(I’M WATCHING YOU!)
i’m a bow-tie duck
a bow-tie duck
a bow-tie duck
hey, i think i see
yeah, he seems kinda real
there behind the wheel
now he’s looking at me
(I’M WATCHING YOU!)
it’s a a bow-tie duck

Bovine Photobomb
04:14
|
|||
lyrics by joe kowalski
this misfit horse was almost making off
but sneaking through he soon was oddly caught
i approach him with a zen-like calm
the perfect slide
undermined
by a bovine photobomb
i never saw the happy girlie come
she came so fast left a mark and gone
so moved was i that i wrote this song
the perfect smile
stars aligned
in a bovine photobomb
she must’ve known what she was doing
she had perfect timing with her movements
i wasn’t sure i had to ask the somm
was it right to have some cote du rhone?
but when it all was over, said, and done
the love arrived
obscure subsides
with a bovine photobomb

onlyone Boston, Massachusetts
onlyone -- Joe Kowalski -- is hard to classify as a solo artist. As a sort of throwback to 70s era Brian Eno, onlyone
traverses electronic/ proggy pop and ambient music and anything in between, playing all instruments and producing it all.
in 2018, onlyone releases his first French record, the reggae- and afropop-influenced Le Jeu Etendu Francais, with more music soon to come right behind.
