Ev'rybody Wants To Be a Cat

Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
Everbody's picking up on that feline beat
'Cause everything else is obsolete

Now a square with the horn makes you wish you weren't born
Every time he plays
With the square in the act he could send music back
To the caveman days

I've heard some corny birds who tried to wing
But the cat's the only cat who knows how to swing
Who wants to dig a long haired gig or stuff like that
When ev'rybody wants to be a cat

Come on cool cats let's swing
Bobby pick up that axe and do something

Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
'Cause a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
Everybody's picking up on that feline beat
'Cause everything else is obsolee

Now a square with the horn makes you wish you weren't born
Every time he plays
With the square in the act you could send music back
To the caveman days

Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
Playing jazz you always have a welcome mat
'Cause everybody digs a swinging cat, everybody digs a swinging cat
Ev'rybody loves a swinging cat, everybody digs a swaying cat
