lyrics

Lyrics:
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Cause everything else is obsolete.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
But 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 like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat

Everybody
Everybody wants to be a cat

A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Every time he plays (rinky-tinky tinky)
But a square in the act
You can set music back
To the caveman days (rinky tinky tink)

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 like that?
When 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 there's a welcome mat
Cause everybody digs a swinging cat

Everybody
Everybody wants to be a cat

Meow
Purr
If you want to turn me on
Play your horn
Don't spare the thought
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
Go

Everybody
Everybody wants to be a cat
Meow
