Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat - Original Soundtrack Version

Well, little lady, let me elucidate here
 Everybody wants to be a cat
 Because a cat's the only cat
 Who knows were it's at
 Tell me!
 Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
 'Cause everything else is obsolete
 A square with a horn
 Makes you wish you weren't born
 Everytime he plays
 But, with a square in the act
 You can set music back
 To the cave man days
 Cha cha ba dum bo day
 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
 Or stuff like that
 When everybody wants to be a cat?
 A square with a horn
 Makes you wish you weren't born
 Everytime he plays
 Oh a rinky tinky tinky
 With a square in the act
 You can set music back
 To the cave man days
 Oh a rinky tinky tinky
 Yes, everybody wants to be a cat
 Because a cat's the only cat
 Who knows where it's at
 When playin' jazz
 You always has a welcome mat
 'Cause everybody digs a swinging 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
 Underneath the alley's only light
 Where every note is out of sight
 ♪
 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
 Hallejuah!
 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
 I'm telling you!
 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
 Yeah!
 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
 Mmmm!
 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
 Hallejuah!
 Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
