Everybody Wants to be a Cat

Everybody Wants to be a Cat is a song in Disney's The Aristocats.

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'cause everything else is obsolete.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 caveman days.

I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,

but 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 Cave man days.

Everybody 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 everybody digs a swingin' cat.

Everybody digs a swingin' cat.
