Overread at Table 1: Kitten High

Lyrics to a new song, forthcoming from the Americana duo, S and M:

(Don’t Get the) Kitten High

C

You can smoke a joint

     G

Or you can huff a bong

F

You can blaze a session

C

All night long

You can call it “wasted”

Or you can call it “fried”

But whatever you call it,

Don’t get the kitten high.

Don’t get the kitten high, my dear

Don’t get the kitten high,

It’s a sad sad thing to do,

To get the kitten high.

You can chug a mug of beer

Or shoot tequila shots

You can slam back vodka

Till your brains just turn to rot

Blaze through Gray’s Anatomy

While sipping rum and coke

But getting kittens high, my dear,

That really is no joke.

Don’t get the kitten high, my dear

Don’t get the kitten high,

It’s a mad mad thing to do,

To get the kitten high.

On the Marrakesh Express

You ride the midnight coaches

Be always sure to never forget

To HIDE THE ROACHES!

But while tripping through dreamland

Where life is just a sigh,

No matter what your visions are

Don’t get the kitten high

Don’t get the kitten high, my dear

Don’t get the kitten high,

It’s a bad bad thing to do,

To get the kitten high.

[spoken]

‘Cuz kittens are innocent!

They’re light and fluffy and playful,

And it’s really a shame to see them stumbling around

Just because you and your dopehead ignorant idiot moron

Stinkwad useless sacks of dimebags think it’s a cool idea.

But it’s not.

So,

Don’t get the kitten high, my dear

Don’t get the kitten high,

It’s a bad bad thing to do,

To get the kitten high.
