E7     Am     Ammaj7        Am7    Am6
    Everybody wants to be a cat,
          Fmaj7          Dm6/F    F7              E7
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at,
             Am         Ammaj7             Am7   Am6
(Tell me!) Everybody's picking up on that feline beat,
Fmaj7                   Em7             Am   Em7  Am
      'Cause everything else is obso - lete!


    Dm         Dmmaj7          Dm7              G7           C
A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born, every time he plays,
             Dm          E7           Dm         E7          Am    Dm   E7
But with a square in the act, you can set music back to the cave - man days!
         F7        E7
Ze - de, dum, bo - zay!


      Am              Ammaj7             Am7    Am6
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
         Fmaj7          Dm6/F    F7           E7
Still, a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing,
     Am              Ammaj7              Am7       Am6
Who wants to dig a long-haired gig, and stuff like that?
Fmaj7              Em7           Am  Em7  Am
      When every - body wants to be   a   cat!


    Dm         Dmmaj7          Dm7               G7
A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born,
       C
Every time he plays, (Oh, a - rinky, tinky - tinky!)
             Dm          E7           Dm         E7          Am    Dm   E7
But with a square in the act, you can set music back to the cave - man days!
          F7             E7
(Oh, a - rinky, tinky - tinky!)


           Am    Ammaj7         Am7    Am6
Yes---, everybody wants to be a cat,
          Fmaj7         Dm6/F     F7              E7
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at,
       Am             Ammaj7         Am7   Am6
When playing jazz you always has a welcome mat,
Fmaj7                Em7          Am     Em7  Am    Am
      'Cause every - body digs a swing - ing  cat!
