Every'body Wants to Be a Cat

Everybody wants to be a cat
 Because the cat's the only cat
 Who knows where it's at
 Everybody's picking up on that feline beat
 'Cause everything else is obsolete
 Now, a square with a horn
 Makes you wish you weren't born
 Every time he plays
 And with a square in the act
 He can set music back
 To the caveman days
 I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing
 But 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

 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 stone age days
 Everybody wants to be a cat
 Because the cat's the only cat
 Who knows where it's at
 While playing jazz, you always have a welcome mat
 'Cause everybody digs a swinging cat

 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat
 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat
 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat
 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat
 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat
 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat
