Lyrics

Everybody wants to be a cat Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat 'Cause everything else is obsolete A square with a horn Make you wish you weren't born Everytime he plays But with a square in the act You can set music back To the caveman days I've heard some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 But still a cat's the only cat Who knows how to swing Who wants to diga long-haired gigor 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 With a square in the act He can set this music back To the caveman days Everybody 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 everybody digs a swingin' cat (I want you to know) (I want you to know) Beware of a square When he offers to share His milk to sip If it hasn't been tried I suggest you provide Your own catnip Everybody wants to be a cat (everybody wants to be a cat) Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at (who knows where it's at) Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat (feline beat) 'Cause everybody wants to be a cat Be a cat Be a cat Listen up I mean all your felines to meet me at the fronty of the stage Welcome to the Sleep Cat Cafe baby, ow! Everybody Everybody (everybody) Everybody Everybody (everybody) Everybody Everybody Everybody Everybody Everybody
