Everybody Wants to Be a Cat



Everybody 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 that feline beat,

'Cause everything else is obsolete.

Strictly high-button shoes!

Now a square with a horn,

Makes you wish you weren't born,

Ever'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,

Still the cat's the only cat

Who knows how to swing.

Who wants to dig a long-haired gig and stuff like that?

When everybody wants to be a cat.



A square with that horn,

Makes you wish you weren't born,

Ever'time he plays;

Oh, a-rinky-tinky-dinky

And with a square in the act,

You can set this music back

To the caveman days.

Oh, a-rinky-dinky-tinky



Yes, everybody 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,

'Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.

Everybody digs a swingin' 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!

Hallelujah!

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!

I'm tellin' you!

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!

Yeah!

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!

Mmm!

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!

Hallelujah!

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
