The Aristocats: Everybody Wants to Be a Cat (arr. for orchestra)

Everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat's the only cat
who know where it's at.
Tell me! Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,

'cause everything else is obsolete.
Now a square with a horn,
can make you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;

but with a square in the act,
you can set the music back
to the caveman 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 long-haired gig
or 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, tinky

With a square in the act,
you can set the 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;
while 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.
