Phil Harris – Ev’rybody Wants to Be a Cat

Lyrics Ev’rybody Wants to Be a Cat – Liz English, Phil Harris, Scatman Crothers, Thurl Ravenscroft

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‘Cause everything else is obsolete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
Every 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 stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat

A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren’t born,
Every time he plays
Oh riki-tiki-tinky
With a square in the act
You can set 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
When playin’ jazz he 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 wants to be a cat
Everybody, everybody
Everybody wants to be a cat
