Can I Play With Catnip?
By Iron Mittens · Metal · From the album Greatest Hiss.. The Best Of Iron Mittens
When Iron Maiden meets Monthy Python, but make it feline. There is only one question left:
"Can I Play With Catnip?"
[Intro]
Kitten: "Can I play with catnip?"
Prophet: "No."
Kitten: "Why not?"
Prophet: "Because the last time you had it, you knocked over three lamps, climbed the curtains, and declared war on the vacuum cleaner."
[Verse I]
Give me the scent to wonder!
To wonder if there's more!
Give me a sense of wonder!
To find the herb on the floor!
Give me the strength to hold my tail up!
Spit at the Vacuum Beast!
Don't need no cupboard to hide the stash!
Gonna start the feline feast!
Gonna break down the walls!
Break out of this boring place!
[Chorus]
Can I play with catnip?
The Tabby stared at his dried up leaf!
Can I play with catnip?
There's no logic, only relief!
Can I play with catnip?
The Tabby looked and he laughed at me,
He said:
Can I play with catnip?
He said, "You're high, too high to see!"
Oh, said, "You're too high to see," mmmh...
[Verse II]
I screamed aloud to the Old Tabby!
I said, "Don't lie, don't say you don't know!"
I said, "You'll pay for this mischief!"
"Ah, in the living room or the next!"
And then he fixed me with a dilated glance!
And the anger raged in his eyes!
He said, "Do you wanna know the truth, kitten?"
"Lord, I'll tell you the truth!"
"Your dignity's gonna burn in a cloud of green!"
[Chorus]
Can I play with catnip?
The Tabby stared at his dried up leaf!
Can I play with catnip?
There's no logic, only relief!
Can I play with catnip?
The Tabby looked and he laughed at me,
He said:
Can I play with catnip?
He said, "You're high, too high to see!"
"Oh, listen to me," said the Old Tabby!
[Shouted over the chaos]
ROLLING ON THE FLOOR!
BUNNY KICKS!
ATTACK THE INVISIBLE ENEMY!
THE RED DOT IS A LIE!
THE MOUSE IS THE TRUTH!
THE GREEN HERB IS EVERYTHING!
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Can I play with catnip?
The Tabby stared at his dried up leaf!
Can I play with catnip?
There's no logic, only relief!
Can I play with catnip?
The Tabby looked and he laughed at me,
He said:
Can I play with catnip?
He said, "You're high, too high to see!"
Can I play with catnip?!
[Outro ]
The herb is gone...
The visions end...
The eyes grow heavy...
The nap... begins...
