    This is a little swing/rock thing that samples Claude Bolling's Big Band's recording of "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat." All about my bank robbing past. Right.

    Story Behind the Song
    Here you hear a Rickenbacker 4003FL fretless bass through distortion, a Yamaha keyboard (piano sound) through an envelope filter, an inexpensive but tasty Zoom drum machine, and a Zoom sampler. Oh, yeah, and a squeaky voice.

    Lyrics
    We tried to rob a bank once
    I think it was a big mistake
    we tried to get out before they got back
    from eating lunch by the man-made lake
    in the park
    but the bell rang, time to return to the work
    that works their fingers to the bone
    and then the bell rang time to go home
    they left the place without a clue

    They didn't know we were even around
    it shows you got to wake up to get down
    from your pedestal to see what's going on

    Just sixty-one hours to go
    my mouth was feeling kind of dry
    looked for water but we only found one
    bottle of bubbly from the Christmas party
    so we drank it down, the three of us
    and that, my friends, was our mistake
    we tried to get out, couldn't see straight,
    started spinning and I passed right out

    We didn't know they were even around
    it shows you got to wake up to get down
    from your pedestal to see what's going on

    They put us in the jail once
    it had to be a big mistake
    we tried to get out before they got back
    to lock the door to the man-made gate in the park
    then we got in a laundry cart
    that cart got put on to a truck
    and from that truck we busted out
    the driver didn't even give a f***

    He didn't know we were even around
    it shows you got to wake up to get down
    from your pedestal to see what's going on
