Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat (From "Aristogatas")

Everybody wants to be a cat,
Because a cat's the only cat Who knows whete 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Cause everything else is obsolete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 weren't born,
Ever'time he plays But with a square in the
act, You can set music back To the caveman days
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
Still the cat's the only cat Who knows how to swing
Who wants to dig a long-haired gig And stuff like that When everybody
wants to be a cat A square with that horn,
Makes you wish you weren't born, Ever'time he plays (oh a rinky,
tinky, dinky) With a square in the act,
You can set music back To the caveman days (oh a rinky, tinky, dinky)
Yes, Everybody wants to be a cat,
Because a cat's the only cat Who knows where it's
at, When playin' jazz he always has A welcome mat '
Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat
If you want to turn me on, Play your horn,
don't spare the tone And blow a little soul into the tune
Let's take to another key,
Modulate and wait for me, I'll take a few ad-libs and pretty soon
The othet cats will all commence,
Congregatin' on the fence Beneath the alley's only light,
Where every note is out of sight
Everybody, everybody, Everybody wants to be a cat! (
Hallelujah!) Everybody, everybody, Everybody wants to be a cat! (
I'm tellin' you!) Everybody, everybody, Everybody wants to be a cat! (
Yeah!) Everybody, everybody, Everybody wants to be a cat!
Mmm!
