Everybody wants to be a cat
'Cause a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at
Everybody's pickin' up on the feline beat
'Cause everything else is obsolete
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
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 everybody wants to be a cat
A square with a horn
Makes you wish that you weren't born
Every time he plays
But with a square in the act
You can set music back
To the caveman days
Boo-gee-dee-boo-gee-dee-bap
I've heard some birds who tried to sing
Still a cat's the only cat
Who knows how to swing
'Cause a purr between two furry friends
May be old hat
But everybody wants to be a cat
We are Siamese if you please (rawr)
We are Siamese if you don't please
Don't, please
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room
All the birds sing words
And the flowers croon
Still a cat's the only cat
Who knows how to swing
ย
'Cause everybody wants to be a cat
Come on, Scat Cat, turn me on
I'll take my horn and my best tone
Then blow a little soul into the tune
Let's take it to another key
Modulate, then wait for me
I'll blow up a few ad libs and pretty soon (bap-bap-swee-bap-bap-swee-bap-bap-lee-doo-lee-doo)
The other cats will all commence (meow)
Congregating on the fence (meow)
Beneath the alley's only light
Where every night is out of sight
(Everybody wants)
(Everybody wants)
(Everybody wants)
(Everybody wants to be cat)
Everybody, everybody
Everybody wants to be a cat
Hallelu (everybody, everybody)
Hallelujah (everybody wants to be a cat)
You know that everybody wants (everybody wants)
Everybody wants (everybody wants)
Everybody wants (everybody)
To be a cat
Everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody
Everybody wants
Everybody wants to be a cat
(Everybody, everybody)
Everybody wants to be a cat
Meow, meow, meow
