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'Cause everything else is obsolete
A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Ever'time he plays
And 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
But 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
Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at
While playin' jazz he always has a welcome mat
'Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat
I want you to know
I want you to know
