Lyrics
High cats, it's four o'clock in the mornin' up here in Harlem
Everybody's here but the police and they'll be here any minute
It's high time
I dreamed about a reefer, five feet long
A mite immense, but not too strong
You'll be high, but not for long
If you're a viper
I'm the king of everything
I got to, got to, got to, got to get high before I swing
Let the bells ring, ding-dong-ding
If you're a viper
Oh, you know you're high when your throat gets dry
And everything is fine and dandy
You go on down to the candy store
Bust your conk on peppermint candy
Then you know your brown body is sin
You don't give a darn if you don't pay your rent
For the sky is high and so am I
If you're a viper
Oh my good goodness
I feel so, uh, effervescent this evening
Hey mama! Mama!
One never knows, do one?
I dreamed about a reefer, five feet long
A mite immense, but not too strong
You'll be high, but not for long
If you're a viper
If you're a viper
