Nine Lives 'n' Nightcaps

[Intro] (mm... yeah) (let's go, boys) [Verse 1] Well I walked in the tavern with my hair let down Traded my badge for my favorite gown The boys said "Officer, you off the clock?" I said honey deal the cards and watch me talk I've got gin in one hand ouzo in the other Skooma's callin like a long lost lover Moon Sugar wine's got me seein double stars Sweet Kway on the table Jagga behind the bar [Pre-Chorus] (oh, oh...) Round and round it goes now (mm-hm) Where it stops, nobody knows now [Chorus] Meow, meow... ain't I puuurrfection? Nine lives deep and no direction Pour it high and pour it slow Where this kitty lands, ain't NOBODY gonna know! I might stay, I might stray But baby that's the price you pay When a country cat gets a little tipsy— Careful now... I bite when frisky (meow, meow) (yeah) (woo!) [Verse 2] Lost my shirt at strip poker again Full house beats a pair my friend Boys keep foldin every single hand Guess my whiskers give away my plan I don't chase the moon, I chase the buzz Chase a good time, chase whatever was And if I chase somethin, or someone, home tonight Well that's between me, the bottle, and the moonlight [Pre-Chorus] (oh, oh...) Round and round it goes now (mm-hm) Where it stops, nobody knows now [Chorus] Meow, meow... ain't I puuurrfection? Nine lives deep and no direction Pour it high and pour it slow Where this kitty lands, ain't NOBODY gonna know! I might stay, I might stray But baby that's the price you pay When a country cat gets a little tipsy— Careful now... I bite when frisky (meow, meow) (c'mon) [Bridge] They call me the Law by the light of day (mm...) But when the sun goes down I just wanna play (yeah...) Long black hair fallin loose and free Ain't no curfew gonna catch up— Catch up to me (no, no, no) [Breakdown] Shhh... (listen) Nine lives, baby And I ain't scared to spend a few (mm-hm) So deal another hand, boys Pour another round This kitty's just gettin started (oh yeah) And I don't touch the ground [Build] (oh-oh-oh...) Here it comes now (oh-oh-oh...) Watch me run now [Final Chorus] Meow, meow, one more round for luck! This tail don't stop till the bar's all shut! So pour it high and pour it slow— Where this kitty lands, well... you'll just have to know! (meow, meow) (woo!) (yeah!) [Final Chorus] Meow, meow... ain't I puuurrfection? (oh, I'm purrfection) Nine lives deep and no direction (no direction, baby) Pour it high and pour it slow (pour it slow now) Where this kitty lands, ain't NOBODY gonna know! (nobody knows) I might stay, I might stray (might stray) But baby that's the price you pay When a country cat gets a little tipsy— Careful now... I bite when frisky (mrrow!) [Outro] Nine lives... nine nightcaps... (mm... yeah) Purrfection never felt so good (meow) (oh...) So pour it high, pour it slow (one more round, boys) Nobody's ever gonna know... (meow...) (purrrr...)
