Woke up this evening, mood for a trip,
All I want for supper is a roll in the nip
Oh catnip, take my last life away.

Oh catnip's a devil, and catnip's a cheat
Fall from that high, you don't land on your feet
Oh catnip, take my last life away.

Cocaine is for horses, and whiskey's for men
But 'nip is a poor old kitty's worst friend
Oh catnip, take my last life away.

My claws have gone dull, at night I can't see
The sofa tried to scratch me and the mice they play with me
Oh catnip, take my last life away.

Oh Fluffy and Mittens ain't got what I need
Don't want a tom, just wanna roll in the weed
Oh catnip, take my last life away.

I don't need no saucer, and no kitty treat
For just one more leaf you know I'd give up meat
Oh catnip, take my last life away.
