Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat Lyrics

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'Cause everything else is obsolete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
I want you to know
I want you to know

Be ware of the squirrel
When he offers to share
His milk to sip
If he hasn't been try
I suggest you provide your own need

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 wants to be a cat
Be a cat, be a cat

Everybody, everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody, everybody
