Story Behind the Song
Concieved in my head, I approached Bob Brenman
in the hallway and asked "What's your
favorite key to solo in?"
Bob replied "C, of course!"
So it was ...
Lyrics
SAX CAT
I'm a peace loving man, I labor like a dog
So at night I should be sawing logs
But I hardly get a chance to dream
When I wake up to these wails and screams
Going at it like to win a prize
On some ax of enormous size
I shut my window, pull the curtains tight
It never works and I'm up all night
Shrieks and screams, pants and sighs
And I've got bags under my eyes
My head is pounding, my stomachs churning
I'm tossing, turning, this cat keeps burning
I take hot milk, Nuquil, Sominex
Who knows what he'll be jammin' next
Night in Tunesia, Rite of Spring
This cat keeps doing it on his thing
Wailing hot wailing blue
He's keeping me up 'til half past two
I'm gonna call the police, I can't get no peace
I'm falling apart, it's got to cease
Sprayin', scratchin', flyin' fur
This cat has got some embouchure
He's on the beat, the cat's in heat
You can hear him up and down the street
I'm on the sofa all alone
Except for all these squeaks and moans
I got to get some REM
Before they take me away again
I can't take this cacophony
He's keeping me up 'til half past three
