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else is obsolete.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.
