This is my version of "Incense and Peppermints". Its about a guy who steals a kitten. He takes it home and falls asleep watching cartoons with said kitten. His wife had put out incense and peppermints for them. She was asleep when he got home. I decided to bring the inanimate objects of incense and peppermints to life as he feels guilty and has a nightmare about two thugs on a crime spree...
Incense and Peppermints
Incense and Peppermints both doin' time,
Cheap tricks drug addicts,
Who dropped a dime?,
Who cares what things they do,
As long as it doesn't concern me or you?
Gentile Shish K Bobs ,
Kosher deli,
How bout' dinner now?
Just you and me?
Please don't pull on me,
I won't push on you,
If that's a mystery ,
Call Scooby -Doo,
Look in my window at the TV,
If cartoons aren't real,
Then explain Bugs Bunny,
Incense and Peppermints,
Followed a nurse ,
Downtown knocked her down,
Then stole her purse,
Who cares what things they do,
As long as it doesn't concern me or you?
Tick tock break the clock,
Your watch or mine ,
Is stealing a kitten really a crime ?
Who cares what things they say?
Incense and Peppermints,
Live for today...
Cotton....
