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 Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat, 'Cause everything else is obsolete.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.
