Lyrics

[Intro]
Well, little lady, let me elucidate here
[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
Tell me, everybody's picking up on that feline beat
'Cause everything else is obsolete
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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)
[Verse 3]
Yes, everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
When playing jazz you always has a welcome mat
'Cause everybody digs a swinging cat
[Outro]
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 wants
