Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat - Phil Harris/The Mike Sammes Singers
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'Cause everything else is obsolete
Now a square with a horn
Can make you wish you weren't born
Ever'time he plays
And with a square in the act
He 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 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
And with a square in the act
He's gonna set this music back
To the Stone Age days
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
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'Cause everything else is obsolete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
Makes you wish you weren't born
Ever'time he plays
With a square in the act
You can set music back
To the caveman days
We've heard some corny birds who tried to sing
But still a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at
A perfect trained you hurry printed maybe alright
But everybody wants to be a cat
Ev'rybody ev'rybody
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Ev'rybody ev'rybody
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
