    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
