Well little lady, let me elucidate:

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'cause everything else is obsolete.
Now a square with a horn,
can make you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;and 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 a cat's the only cat
who knows how to swing.
Who wants to diga long-haired gigor stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat.
A square with that horn,
makes you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;
and with a square in the act,
he's gonna set this music backto the caveman days.

Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only catwho knows where it's at;
while playin' jazz you always has a Welcome mat,
'cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.
Everybody digs a swingin' cat.
