Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat Lyrics & Chords By Phil Harris

Well, little lady let me elucidate here
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Everything else is obsolete, a square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born

Ever'time he plays but with a square in the act
You can set music back to the caveman 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 the horn makes you
Wish you weren't born, ever'time he plays
And with a square in the act
You gonna can set music back to the cave man days

Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's, the only cat
Who knows where it's at

When playin' jazz you always has a welcome mat
'Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat

Everybody, everybody
Everybody wants to be a cat, hallelujah

Everybody, everybody
Everybody wants to be a cat
Everybody, everybody
Everybody want to be a cat
