[00:07.38]Everybody wants to be a cat
[00:11.31]Because a cat's the only cat
[00:13.27]Who knows where it's at
[00:15.35]Everybody's picking up that feline beat
[00:19.12]Cause everything else is obsolete
[00:23.54]A square with a horn
[00:25.12]Makes you wish you weren't born
[00:27.03]Every time he plays
[00:31.20]With a square in the act
[00:33.15]You can set music back to the caveman days
[00:39.31]I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing
[00:43.36]Sting a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing
[00:47.22]Who wants to dig a long-haired gigger stuff like that?
[00:51.43]When everybody wants to be a cat
[00:55.95]
[01:02.74]Everybody wants to be a cat
[01:11.12]Everybody wants to be a cat
[01:15.33]Because a cat's the only cat
[01:17.52]Who knows where it's at
[01:19.43]When playing jazz you always have a welcome mat
[01:23.51]Cause everybody digs a swinging cat
[01:27.48]A square with a horn
[01:29.36]Makes you wish you weren't born
[01:31.27]Every time he plays
[01:35.34]With a square in the act
[01:37.17]You can set music back to the caveman days
[01:43.23]I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing
[01:47.33]Still a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing
[01:51.20]Who wants to dig a long-haired gig like that?
[01:55.40]When everybody wants to be a cat
[01:59.84]Everybody wants to be a cat…
[02:29.81]If you want to turn me on
[02:33.75]Play your horn don't spare the tone
[02:37.51]And blow a little soul into the tune
[02:50.42]Lets take it to another key
[02:53.53]Modulate and wait for me
[02:57.50]I'll take a few and listen pretty soon
[03:05.23]The other cats will all commence
[03:09.17]Congregating on the fence
[03:13.69]Beneath the alley's only light
[03:17.64]Where every note is out of sight
[03:25.84]Everybody wants to be a cat…
