Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at

Tell me!

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'Cause everything else is obsolete

Strictly high-b___on shoes.

A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born

Everytime he plays.

But 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 the cat's the only cat
Who knows how to swing

Who wants to dig a long-haired gig
And stuff like that

When everybody wants to be a cat
A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Every time he plays

Oh, a-rinky-tinky-d___y

With a square in the act
You can set music back
To the caveman days

Oh, a-rinky-d___y-tinky

Yes,
Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at
When playin' jazz he always has
A welcome mat
'Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat

Oh boy, fellas! Let's rock the joint!

Ha-ha! Groove it, cat!

Shanghai, Hong Kong, Egg Foo Young
Fortune cookie always wrong
That's a hot one!

How 'bout you and me, d____ss?

Yes. Let's swing it, Thomas.

Groovy, mama, groovy!

Blow it, small fry. Blow it.

Boy, he blew it

But he was a-close.

Beautiful

If you want to turn me on
Play your horn, don't spare the tone
And blow a little soul into the tune

Let's take to another key

Modulate and wait for me
I'll take a few ad-libs and pretty soon
The other cats will all commence
Congregatin' on the fence
Beneath the alley's only light

Where every note is out of sight

Everybody, everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat!

Hallelujah!

Everybody, Everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat!
I'm tellin' you!
Everybody, Everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat!
Yeah!
Everybody, Everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat! Mmm!
Everybody, Everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat!
Hallelujah!
Everybody, Everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat!
