Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at.

Tell me, everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,
'cause everything else is obsolete.

[Skat]
(Strickly high b___on shoes.)

A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;
But with a square in the act,
he can set music back
to the caveman days.

[Skat]
(Cha cha ba dum bo day~)

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;

[Tom]
(Oh a rinky tinky tinky!)

With a square in the act,
he's gonna set this music back
to the Stone Age days.

[Marie]
(Oh a rinky tinky tinky!)

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.

[Drummer cat]
Oh boy fellas, lets rock this joint!
Cat playing cello:
Ha ha groovy cats!

[Piano cat]
Shanghai, Honk Kong, Egg Foo Yong.
Fortune cookie always wrong.
That's a hot one!
(Harp begins)

[d____ss]
If you want to turn me on,
Play your horn don't spare the tone,
and blow a little soul into the tune.

[Tom]
Lets take it to another key.

[Skat]
Modulate, and wait for me.
I'll take a few ad-libs and pretty soon.

[Tom]
The other cats will all commence
Congregating on the fence.
Underneath the alley's only light.

[d____ss]
Where every note is out of sight.
(Jazz music begins again)

[S & Crew]
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!

[Skat]
Hallelujah!

[S & Crew]
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
Everybody, everybody, everybody now
