Cat Rescue Lyrics - Nico Muhly

My cat is stuck up in a tree, 

He is up about 40, 50 feet, 

He's been gone for 3 and a half days, 

And it is cold with snow flurries. 

I have tried with food, 

I have tried opening tuna, 

Fire department is no use, 

And the tree people aren't answering or calling me back. 

Can't believe he's up there. 

It's the scariest thing ever. 

We've been yelling and trying to coax him, 

Nothing seems to work.
