Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
Everybody's picking up on that feline beat
'Cause everything else is obsolete
[Verse 2]
A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born
Every time he plays
With a square in the act, you can set music back
To the caveman days
[Verse 3]
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing
Still a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing
A purr between two furry friends may be old hat
But everybody wants to be a cat
[Verse 4]
A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born
Every time he plays
With a square in the act, you can set music back
To the caveman days
[Verse 5]
Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
When playing jazz, you always have a welcome mat
'Cause everybody wants to be a cat
[Verse 6]
Everybody, everybody
Everybody wants to be a cat
Sing, hallelujah, everybody, everybody now
Everybody wants to be a cat
[Verse 7]
Sing, hallelujah, everybody, everybody now
Everybody wants to be a cat
Sing, hallelujah, hallelujah, hey
Everybody wants to be a cat
[Verse 8]
Yeah
