Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat

Ev'rybody 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 the feline beat

'Cause everything else is obsolete

A square with a horn

Makes you wish you weren't born

Every time he plays (Every time he plays)

But with a square in the act

You can set music back

To the caveman days

I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing

But 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 ev'rybody wants to be a cat

No, nothing wrong with that

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, hey

Ev'rybody wants to be a cat

Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at

While playin' jazz he always has a welcome mat, yeah

'Cause everybody digs a swinging cat (I'd swing with you now)

(Everybody) Everybody

Don't you, ev'rybody wants to be a cat

Oh, everybody, don't ya wanna be, be a cat

Be a cat

Be a cat

Be a cat
