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'Cause ev'rything else is obsolete

Now 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
Who wants to dig a long-haired gig or stuff like that
When ev'rybody wants to be a cat

Now 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 Stone Age days

Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
When playin' scat who always has a welcome mat
'Cause ev'rybody digs a swingin' cat

Ev'rybody, ev'rybody
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Ev'rybody, ev'rybody
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
