Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat

Well, little lady, let me elucidate here

Everybody wants to be a cat

Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at

Tell me, everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat

'Cause everything else is obsolete

A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born

Every time he plays

But with a square in the act, you can set music back

To the caveman days, cha cha ba dam bo day

I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing

Still, a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing

Who wants to dig a long-haired gig or stuff like that

When everybody wants to be a cat

A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born

Every time he plays, oh, a rinky tinky tinky

With a square in the act, you can set music back

To the caveman days, oh, a rinky tinky tinky (yes)

Everybody wants to be a cat

Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at

When playin' jazz you always has a welcome mat

'Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat (hallelujah)

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat

Everybody, everybody, everybody
