作曲 : Huddlestron, Rinker
  everybody 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 'cause everything else is obsolete.
 a square with a horn,
 makes you wish you weren't born,
 everytime he plays.
 but with a square in the act,
 he 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
 rr stuff like that?
 when everybody wants to be a cat.
 
 
 a square with a horn,
 makes you wish you weren't born,
 everytime he plays.
 (oh a rink dinky dinky)
 
 
 but with a square in the act,
 he can set music back
 to the caveman days.
 (oh a rinky tinky tinky)
 
 
 everybody wants to be a cat,
 because a cat's the only cat
 who knows where it's at.
 while playin' jazz he always has a welcome mat,
 'cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.
 
 
 everybody, everybody,
 everybody wants to be a cat.
 (oh hallelujia)
 everybody, everybody,
 everybody wants to be a cat.
