Lyrics to "Everybody wants to be a cat, BOWS)

Ev'ryboy 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'Cause ev'rything else is obsolete.

A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born
Every time he plays.
With a square in the act, you can set music back
To the cave man days.

I've heard some corny birds whot tried to sing
But still a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing
Who wants to dig a long-haired gig and stuff like that
When ev'rybody wants to be a cat.

Meow-ee-ow-ee-ow-ee-ow
Meow-ee-ow-ee-ow-ee-ow
Meoh-ee-oh-ee-oh-ee-oh
Meoh-ee-oh-ee-oh-ee-oh
Meoo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo
Meoo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo
 

Singalong

While playing jazz you always has a welcome mat
'Cause ev'rybody wants to be - a - cat!

Lyrics to "the Butler Did It!/ Finale"

Aristocats: Roquefort!
Edgar: Give that back before I cook your goose!
Abigail/Amelia: Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!
Edgar: Dogged at ev'ry step. 
NapoleonCHARGE!
Edgar: How could it get any worse?
Aristocats: We're free! 
Edgar: I've got to get out of here!
Alley Cats: Crazy man, crazy!

First it seemed like all our hopes were grounded,
Then we teamed an now he is surrounded. 
If Cats! Mice! Dogs! Geese! call each other friend,
When all is done and said,
We'll all come out ahead,
We'll triumph over Edgar in - the - end!
Achoo! 
Hooray!

Lyrcis to "Use Your Nose Reprise"

Bark Bark Ruff Ruff
Bark Bark Ruff Ruff
Scour the country side and ev'ry city street,
Keep your eyes and noses peeled for butler meat.
Here a butler, there a butler,
Caught in nothing flat.
