Songs from the Aristocats soundtrack – Ev'rebody Wants to be a Cat lyrics

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'Cause everything else is obsolete.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
Along-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 Caveman 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.

Let's rock the joint. Groovy cat!
Shanghai, Hong Kong, Egg foo young
Fortune cookie always wrong
That's a hot one! Lets swing it, Tommy.
Groovy, momma! Groovy!
Blow it, small fry. Blow it!
Boy, he blew it!
But he was close.
