Ev'rybody Wants to be a Cat
Performed by: Phil Harris (Thomas O'Malley)

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'cause everything else is obsolete.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 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.

{ A sheet music version has the following lyrics: }
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at!
Ev'rybody pickin' up on that feline beat
'Cause ev'rything else is obsolete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
But still a cat's the only cat
Who knows how to swing!
A purr between to furry friends
May be old hat
But ev'rybody 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 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 ev'ry night is out of sight!

Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at
Ev'rybody pickin' up on the feline beat
'Cause ev'rything else is obsolete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
But still a cat's the only cat
Who knows how to swing!

A purr between two furry friends
May be an old hat
But ev'rybody wants to be a cat!
