Lyrics to "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat"

Ev'rybody 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 Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat, 'Cause everything else is obsolete. Ev'ry kitty cat can learn to swing 'Cause to a kitty, playing jazz is a natural thing. What do you mean "jazz?" Well if you don't know that, You'll never, ever, ever be a cat. A square with a horn, Makes you wish you weren't born, Ever'time he plays; 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 And stuff like that When ev'rybody wants to be a cat. O'Malley: Scat Cat, I want you to meet some friends of mine. Friends of mine, meet Scat Cat. Duchess: This is interesting music, Mr. Scat Cat. Scat Cat: Jazz is the international language, m'lady. Rich or poor, big or small, dog, cat, mouse, whatever. Jazz brings us all together. Take it son! A square with that horn,  Makes you wish you weren't born,  Ev'rytime he plays;  With a square in the act,  You can set music back  To the caveman days.  Scat Cat: Meow-ee ow-ee ow-ee ow All: Meow-ee ow-ee ow-ee ow Scat Cat: Meoh-ee oh-ee oh-ee oh All: Meoh-ee oh-ee oh-ee oh Scat Cat: Mew-ee oo-ee o-ee oo All: Mew-ee oo-ee oo-ee oo Scat Cat: Eeny meeny miny mo Scat Cat: Ev'rybody, All: ev'rybody Scat Cat: Evry'body wants to be a cat! Now you! All: Ev'rybody,  Scat Cat: ev'rybody SPOKEN:  Ev'rybody wants to be a cat! Ev'rybody wants to be a cat! Ev'rybody wants to be a cat! Ev'rybody wants to be a cat! 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 wants to be a cat! (BIG FINISH) All: Evry'body wants to be a cat!
