Ev'rybody Wants to Ba a Cat

Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at!

Tell me
Ev'rybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
'Cause ev'rything else is obsolete
A square with a horn
Makes you wish
you weren't born
Ev'ry time he plays
But with a square in the act
You can set music back
To the caveman days (ad lib)

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 ev'rybody wants to be a cat

A square with that horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Ev'ry 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

Yes, ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at!
When playing scat
Who always has a welcome mat
'Cause ev'rybody digs a swinging cat
Ev'rybody,ev'rybody, ev'rybody 
wants to be a cat
(Repeat)
