Ev'rybody wants to be a cat

Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
Ev'rybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
Cause ev'rything else is obsolete

A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Ev'ry time he plays
But 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
Still a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing
A purr between two furry friends may be old hat.
But ev'rybody wants to be a cat

A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Ev'ry time he plays
With a square in the act
You can set music back
To the caveman days Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
When playin' Jazz he always has a welcome mat
Cause ev'rybody wants to be a cat

Ev'rybody, ev'rybody,
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat!
Sing Hallelujah!
Ev'rybody, ev'rybody now,
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat!
Sing Hallelujah!
Ev'rybody, ev'rybody now,
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat!
Sing Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hey!
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat! Woo!
Yeah!
