Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat

	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	'cause everything else is obsolete.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 dig
	A long-haired gig
	Or 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 back
	To the Stone Age days.
	Everybody wants to be a cat,
	Because a cat's the only cat
	Who 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.
