Everybody wants to be a cat,
F7+ Dm6/F F7 E7
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at,
Am Am7+ Am7 Am6
(Tell me!) Everybody's picking up on that feline beat,
F7+ Em7 Am Em7 Am
'Cause everything else is obso - lete!
Dm Dm7+ Dm7 G7 C
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 cave - man days!
F7 E7
Ze - de, dum, bo - zay!

I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
F7+ Dm6/F F7 E7
Still, a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing,
Am Am7+ Am7 Am6
Who wants to dig a long-haired gig, and stuff like that?
F7+ Em7 Am Em7 Am
When every - body wants to be a cat!
Dm Dm7+ Dm7 G7
A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born,

But with a square in the act, you can set music back to the cave - man days!

Yes---, everybody wants to be a cat,
F7+ Dm6/F F7 E7
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at,

When playing jazz you always has a welcome mat,
F7+ Em7 Am Em7 Am
'Cause every - body digs a swing - ing cat!
