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'Cause everything else is obsolete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
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'Cause everything else is obsolete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
