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'cause everything else is obsolete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
Makes you wish you weren't born
Ever'time he plays
And 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
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 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

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

(I want you to know)

Beware of a square
when he offers to share
his milk to sip
If it hasn't been tried
I suggest you provide
Your own cat nip

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 everybody wants to be a cat
Be a cat
Be a cat

Listen up I mean all your felines to meet me
at the fronty of the stage
Welcome to the Sleep Cat Cafe babe

Everybody
Everybody
