Everybody wants to be a cat Because a cat's the only cat Who knows were it's at everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat Cause everything else is obsolete(obsolete) A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born Everytime he plays But with a square in the act You can set music back To the cave man days I've heard some corny birds who who tried to sing but still the cat's the only cat who knows how to swing Who wants to dig a long haired gig or 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 but the with a square in the act you can set music back To the cave man days Everybody wants to be a cat Beause a cats the only cat who knows where it's at While playin' jazz you always have a welcom mat 'Cause everybody digs a swinging cat cat!
