Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat |
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'cause everything else is obsolete.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. |
