Manhattan Transfer - THAT CAT IS HIGH lyrics

Spoken: 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!

Instrumental

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!
