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 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'cause everything else is obsolete.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,

he can set music back

to the caveman days.

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

rr 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 rink dinky dinky)

but with a square in the act,

he can set music back

to the caveman days.

(oh a rinky tinky tinky)

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, everybody,

everybody wants to be a cat.

(oh hallelujia)

everybody, everybody,

everybody wants to be a cat.
