Phil Harris - Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat (Album Version) 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Because a cat's the only cat Who knows where it's at Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat 'Cause everything else is obsolete Now a square with a horn can make you wish you weren't born Ever'time he plays And with a square in the act, he can set music back To the cave man days I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing But 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 ev'rybody 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 Ev'rybody 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 ev'rybody digs a swingin' cat Yeah, ev'rybody digs a swingin' cat
