Lyrics

Everybody wants to be a cat Because the cat's the only cat Who knows where it's at Tell me Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat 'Cause everything else is obsolete A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born Every time he plays But with a square in the act You can set music back To the cave man days Well I've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 and stuff like that? When еverybody wants to be a cat A square with a horn makеs you wish you weren't born Every time he plays With a square in the act, you can set music back To the cave man days Everybody wants to be a cat Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at While playin' jazz you always have a welcome mat 'Cause everybody digs a swinging 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 it to another key Modulate, and wait for me I'll take a few ad-libs and pretty soon The other 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! Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat! Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat! Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat! Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat! Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
