Liner Notes
I got a mild case of hypothermia, and thus this fever-dream-esqe song was born. Complete with references to cat deities, Bob the Builder, Remy from the Pixar classic film Ratatouille, and the evil creatures known as geese that plague Seattle.
The chords for the chorus to verse follow a palindrome pattern, with a G in between the mirrored parts:
F - Am - G - Dm - G - Dm - G - Am - F

Lyrics
chorus:
f. am. g. dm.
was it a cat I saw?
getting deified last evening?
or was it just your uncle bob,
making worship look easy?
and say, do geese see god?
‘cause they sure as hell live evil,
and so we panic in a pew,
accompanied by star rats.
g.
verse 1:
dm. g. am. f.
the cat on that fine eve,
roped its owner in,
a tenet was enacted,
to raise a shrine of sin.
and so bob, he set to building,
the greatest gig he’ll have,
the deed was drawn up shortly,
the altar built by noon.
am. dm. g. am.
chorus
verse 2:
dm. g. am. f.
the geese, and their friend remy,
they eye our human food,
they peep our plates, and don their bib,
and level with their chef (“remy”),
they scoff when he serves bird rib,
and complain to the health board.
“was that a rat I saw?”
am. dm. g. am.
chorus
am.
