I’m a smitten kitten
all toked and trippin’
stayin’ stone cool
as reality’s slippin’

this cheshire kitten
is my good friend
and yes we’ve both
gone round the bend

my name is flower
this fella’s named ziggy
we’re locked down tight
and gettin’ jiggy

we just got back
from wonderland
a spontaneous trip
really quite unplanned

our strutten’s righteous
we purrrrr like silk
we’re high as midnight
and cravin’ milk

we’re lush and lazy
ain’t nobody’s fools
we’re bad-ass felines
precious as jewels

we’re tie-dye n’leather
n’high as a kite
if ya bum us out
it’ll be dude — goodnight!

so sit back — shut up
don’t be rude
don’t ‘cha be harshin’
our mellow mood

‘cause we’re chill’n smooth
as Federico Fellini…
…his name is ziggy
they call me queenie
