Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at.
Everybody's picking up on the feline beat,
'cause everything else is obsolete.

Now a square with a horn
makes you wish you weren't born 
when he starts to play.
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 a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing.
purr between two perfect friends may be old hat
but everybody wants to be a cat.
