Intro: C#5  Ab5 A5

C#5           Ab5                 C#5
Everybody wants to be a cat,
                   A5
Because a cat's the only cat
          Ab5                     C#5
Who knows where it's at.
C#5                Ab5                   C#5           A5
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,
                                                C#5
'Cause everything else is obsolete.

CHORUS
            F#5             F#5                  F#5              B5
Now a square with a horn, makes you wish you weren't born,
        E5
Ever'time he plays;
                   D#5                Ab5            D#5           A5
And with a square in the act, He can set music back 
            C#5 D#5  Ab5
To the caveman days.


        C#5                    Ab5                       C#5
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
          A5                                Ab5                C#5
But a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing.


         C#5           Ab5                         C#5            A5
Who wants to dig Along-haired gig or stuff like that?
                                            Ab5 C#5
When everybody wants to be a cat.

(SOLO)

While playin' jazz you always have a welcome mat,
                                         Ab5       C#5
'Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.

Everybody wants to be cat.
