well little lady, let me illusinate you
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at.
tell them 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'cause everything else is obsolete.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 diga long-haired gigor stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat.

while playin' jazz you always has a Welcome mat,
'cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.
