rd fret (Sounds in key of ) Everybody wants to be a cat, Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at, (Tell me!) Everybody's picking up on that feline beat, 'Cause everything else is obso - lete! A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born, every time he plays, But with a square in the act, you can set music back to the cave - man days! Ze - de, dum, bo - zay! 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, and stuff like that? When every - body wants to be a cat! A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born, Every time he plays, (Oh, a - rinky, tinky - tinky!) But with a square in the act, you can set music back to the cave - man days! (Oh, a - rinky, tinky - tinky!) Yes---, everybody wants to be a cat, Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at, When playing jazz you always has a welcome mat, 'Cause every - body digs a swing - ing cat!

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat! Everybody, everybody, everybody------!
