The Aristocats - Ev'rybody Wants to be a Cat

Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at
Tell me, everybody's pickin' up
On that feline beat
'Cause everything else is obsolete
(Strickly high button shoes!)

A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Everytime he plays
But with a square in the act
You can set music back
To the cavemen days

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
Or stuff like that
When everybody wants to be a cat

A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Everytime he plays
With a square in the act
You can set music back
To the cavemen days

Yes, everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at
While playin' jazz you always have
A welcome mat
'Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat

If you want to turn me on
Play your horn, don't spare the tone
And blow a little soul into the tune
Let's take it to another key
Modulate and wait for me
I'll take a few ad-libs and pretty soon
The other cats will all commence
Congregatin' on the fence
Beneath the alley's only light
Where every note is out of sight

Everybody, everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat
(Hallelujah!)
Everybody, everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat
(I'm tellin' you!)
Everybody, everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat
(Yeah!)
Everybody, everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat
(Mmm)
Everybody, everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat
(Hallelujah!)
Everybody, everybody,
Everybody wants to be a cat...
