Lyrics Everybody Wants to Be a Cat - SoundSense

Everybody Wants to Be a Cat

everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat is the only cat who knows where its at
tell me everybody is picking up on that feline beat
everything else is obsolete
(scat bit)
a square with a horn makes you wish you weren’t born
everytime it plays
with a square in the act you can set music back
to the cave man days
(scat bit)
I’ve heard some corny birds who try to sing
still the cat is the only can who knows how to swing
who wants to dig a long haired and stuff like that
when everybody wants to be a cat
a square with a horn makes you wish you weren’t born
everytime it plays
a ricky ticky ticky
with a square in the act you can set music back
to the cave man days
a rincky tincky tincky
oh yes everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat is the only cat who knows where its at
when playing jazz it always has a welcome mat
'cause everybody needs to swing a cat
