Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat
Everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat's the only cat
who know where it's at
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Cause everything else is obsolete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 cave man days.
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 longhaired gig
And 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 cave man days.
Oh, a rinky, tinky, tinky.
Everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat's the only cat
who know where it's at
When playing jazz
You always has a welcome mat
Cause everybody digs
a swingin' cat.
Everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat's the only cat
who know where it's at
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Cause everything else is obsolete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 cave man days.
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 longhaired gig
And 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 cave man days.
Oh, a rinky, tinky, tinky.
Everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat's the only cat
who know where it's at
When playing jazz
You always has a welcome mat
Cause everybody digs
a swingin' cat.
Everybody wants to be a cat
