azcheka45, I'd already drafted up a reply. Just checked back before posting and you'd already decided what to do. Anyhow, here's the intended rave (for others' info, say) ...

Are you just looking at playing the melody on sax, or are you intending to do something more ambitious, like getting a combo or concert band version together?
I'm not familiar with the tune (living under a rock, as I do) but I found this on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_jSRN1bQzk It seems like it would be pretty straightforward to transcribe, which would be the way to go if you can't find the music otherwise.
Here's how to do it. Break the big problem down into smaller, manageable problems:
Q1. Key?
Q2. Time signature? Tempo?
Q3. Form – are any bits repeated, or approximately so?
A1. E flat – nice for a sax player!
A2. 4/4 throughout, by the sounds of things. No metrical tricks. Quarter note (a.k.a. crotchet) = approx 60
A3. Sounds like . . . intro (2 bars) . . . letter A (7 bars: a 3-bar phrase, then a 4-bar phrase) . . . letter A repeated (with a different ending) . . . paraphrase of intro . . . letter A paraphrased, shortened . . . outro
TOTAL = less than 30 bars! Less than an hour's work!! Great ear-training!!!
