Everybody Wants To Be A Cat

Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who know 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Cause everything else is obsolete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
Every time he plays
But with a square in the act
You can set music back
To the cave man 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 longhaired gig
And stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat.

A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Every time he plays
Oh, a rinky, tinky, tinky
With a square in the act
You can set music back
To the cave man days
Oh, a rinky, tinky, tinky
Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who know where it's at
When playing jazz
You always has a welcome mat
Cause everybody digs
A swingin' cat
Everybody wants to be a cat.
