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'Cause ev'rything else is obsolete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
Who wants to dig a long-haired gig or stuff like that
When ev'rybody wants to be a cat

A square with a horn, makes you wish you weren't born
Ev'ry time he plays (a rinky tinky tinky)
But with a square in the act you can set music back
To the caveman days (a rinky tinky tinky)

Yes, 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

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

Lets take it to another key.
Modulate, and wait for me.
I'll take a few ad-libs and pretty soon.

The other cats will all commence
Congregating on the fence.
Beneath the alley's only light.
Where every note is out of sight.

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

Halelujah

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

I'm tellng you

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

Yeah!

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

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