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'Cause everything else is obsolete
Now a square with a horn
Make you wish you weren't born
Ever'time 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 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 a horn
Make you wish you weren't born
Ever'time he play，- oh a rinky, tinky, tinky
With a square in the act
You can set music back
To the caveman days，oh a rinky, tinky, tinky
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
Ever’body Ever’body
Ever’body want to be a cat
Hallelujah Ever’body Ever’body
Ever’body want to be a cat
