Manhattan Transfer

By J.M. Williams
Spoken: Folks Im mellow as a honeydew! (Oh yeah, yeah)
That cat is high
Look at that look in his eye
On man hes high
The cats higher than a kite
When you see him stumblin
Up and down the street
You know that cats been drinkin
Got no shoes upon his feet
Man hes high
I said that cat is high
Yes hes high
Man hes higher than a kite
That cat is high
Look at that look in his eye
You know I wouldnt lie
That cat is higher than a kite
Boys hes 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 hes 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 cats been drinkin
Got no shoes upon his feet
Man hes high
Yes hes high
My oh my
The cats higher than a kite
Hes high (That cat is high)
So high (That cat is high)
My my (Oh man hes high)
Hes high (Hes high)
Hes high (That cat is high)
So high (That cat is high)
My my (Oh man hes high)
Spoken:
I want the home cookin mama w/ the fryin pan!
Well I know that cat is high!
Hee hee -- yeah!
Thats right!
