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

Everybody's picking up that feline beat

Cause everything else is obsolete

A square with a horn

Makes you wish you weren't born

Every time he plays

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

Sting a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing

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

When everybody wants to be a cat

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

When playing jazz you always have a welcome mat

Cause everybody digs a swinging cat

A square with a horn

Makes you wish you weren't born

Every time he plays

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 a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing

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

When everybody wants to be a cat

Everybody wants to be a cat…

If you want to turn me on

Play your horn don't spare the tone

And blow a little soul into the tune

Lets take it to another key

Modulate and wait for me

I'll take a few and listen pretty soon

The other cats will all commence

Congregating on the fence

Beneath the alley's only light

Where every note is out of sight

Everybody wants to be a cat…
