Name: 9 Cats
Duration: P00H03M19S
Description: This version of 9 Cats (with electric piano) first appeared on the album 2Tall by the Tall Men Group. I was worried at first that the lyrics might offend cat lovers, but they turned out to love it. It's a song about just one of the many ways romance can be thwarted. I wrote it in the way-back jump seat of a touring van, surrounded by guitars and luggage. Enjoy!

lyrics

Words & Music by Marty Axelrod (Didit Music/ASCAP)

Our first date couldn't have gone better
We had a delicious steak dinner
She said, I've got some wine back at my place
I said, that sounds great

I was into her, but that was before
The horror that lurked behind her door

9 Cats
And yes I am allergic but it's more than that
She's super-sexy and she's a Democrat
But I'll sum it up in two words
9 Cats

She said two mostly stay outside
And that one Pookie, he's about to die
And I thought six...still too many
Wish she didn't have any

But she has nine
And yes I am allergic but it's more than that
She's super-sexy and she's a Democrat
But I'll sum it up in four lines:

Nine, and not one will let you pet 'em
Not one has caught a mouse
And it doesn't mean she's crazy
But you cannot rule it out

9 Cats
And I'm a dog person but it's more than that
She's super-sexy and a lifelong Democrat
But I'll sum it up in one word:
Dealbreaker.
