|
Folks I'm mellow as a honeydew! (Oh yeah, yeah)
|
|
That cat is high
|
Look at that look in his eye
|
On man he's high
|
The cats higher than a kite
|
|
When you see him stumblin'
|
Up and down the street
|
You know that cat's been drinkin'
|
Got no shoes upon his feet
|
|
Man he's high
|
I said that cat is high
|
Yes he's high
|
Man he's higher than a kite
|
|
That cat is high
|
Look at that look in his eye
|
You know I wouldn't lie
|
That cat is higher than a kite
|
|
Boys he's high
|
Oh look at them two black eyes
|
Oh me oh my
|
That cat is higher than the sky
|
|
When you see him tippin'
|
Round and round the block
|
Oh you know that cat he's very beat
|
Hip clean down to his socks
|
|
That cat is high
|
Look at that look in his eye
|
Oh me oh my
|
That cat is higher than the sky
|
Yeah!

[Scat section...ends with:]
|
"Shoot some liquor to me John Boy!"
|
|
When you see him stumblin'
|
Up and down the street
|
You know that cat's been drinkin'
|
Got no shoes upon his feet
|
|
Man he's high
|
Yes he's high
|
My oh my
|
The cat's higher than a kite
|
|
He's high (That cat is high)
|
So high (That cat is high)
|
My my (Oh man he's high)
|
He's high (He's high)
|
|
He's high (That cat is high)
|
So high (That cat is high)
|
My my (Oh man he's high)
|
|
[Spoken:]
|
I want the home cookin' mama w/ the fryin' pan!
|
Well I know that cat is high!
|
Hee hee yeah!
|
That's right!
