Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat

Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat - Done Again

Everybody wants to be a cat

Because a cat's the only cat

Who knows where it's at

Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat

'Cause everything else is obsolete

Now a square with a horn

Can make 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

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 that horn

Makes you wish you weren't born

Ever'time he plays;

And with a square in the act

He's gonna set this music back

To the Stone Age days

Everybody wants to be a cat

Because a cat's the only cat

Who knows where it's at;

While playin' jazz you always has a Welcome mat

'Cause everybody digs a swingin' 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
