That Cat Is High
High as a Kite: The Tale of a Jovial Cat's Spirited Soiree
Lyrics
Boys, I'm mellow as a honeydew, yeah
Expressing a relaxed state, calm like a honeydew melon
That cat is high
Referring to someone being under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Look at that look in his eye
Observing a particular look indicative of being intoxicated
Oh man, he's high
Acknowledging the person's state of being high
Yes, higher than a kite
Emphasizing the intensity of being high, comparing it to being very elevated (like a kite)
That cat is high
Reiteration of someone being under the influence
Look at that look in his eye
Noticing the telltale signs in the person's eyes indicating being high
Man, I wouldn't lie
Asserting the truth about the person's intoxicated state
The cat's higher than a kite
Reaffirming the person's elevated state compared to a kite
Now when you see him stumblin'
Describing the person's stumbling movements
Bubbed in and down the street
Walking unsteadily along the street
You know that cat's been drinkin'
Suggesting the person has been drinking alcohol
Got no shoes upon his feet
Highlighting the lack of footwear, possibly due to being intoxicated
Man he's high
Reiterating the individual's state of being high
I said that cat is high
Re-emphasizing the person's elevated state
Yes, he's high
Confirming the person's heightened condition
Man, he's higher than a kite
Reiterating the comparison of the person's state to being high like a kite
That cat is high
Observing the person's intoxicated state through their eyes
Look at that look in his eye
Asserting the truth about the person's high condition
Man, I wouldn't lie
Reaffirming the honesty in recognizing the individual's state
That cat's higher than a kite
Confirming the person's elevated state compared to a kite
Boys, he's high
Highlighting the person's heightened state
Just look at them two black eyes
Noticing the person's appearance, particularly the eyes
You know I wouldn't lie
Reiterating the honesty in acknowledging the person's state
He's higher than the sky
Comparing the person's high state to being higher than the sky
When you see him tippin'
Describing the person's unsteady movements
Round and round the block
Walking around the block in an uncoordinated manner
Know that cat he's very beat
Noting the person's cool and stylish appearance
Hip clean down to his socks
Describing the person's stylish attire
That cat is high
Reiterating the person's high state
Boys, I wouldn't lie
Asserting the truth about the person's condition
Oh my, oh my
Expressing surprise or astonishment at the person's high state
He's higher than a kite, yeah
Reaffirming the comparison of being high to a kite
Shoot the liquor to me, John Boy
Requesting more alcohol to be served
When you see him stumblin'
Describing the person's stumbling movements along the street
Up and down the street
Walking unsteadily up and down the street
You know that cat's been drinkin'
Implying the person has been drinking alcohol
Got no shoes upon his feet
Highlighting the lack of footwear, possibly due to being intoxicated
Man, he's high
Reiterating the person's high state
Yes, he's high, my, oh my
Confirming the person's heightened condition, expressing surprise
I want the home cookin' mama with the fryin' pan
Expressing a desire for comforting, homemade food
I know that cat's high, yeah
Affirming the recognition of the person's high state
