Scat Cat:
Well, little lady, let me elucidate here
Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows were it's at
Thomas O'Malley:
Tell me!
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
'Cause everything else is obsolete
Strickly high button shoes!
Thomas O'Malley:
A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Everytime he plays
But, with a square in the act
You can set music back
To the cave man days
Cha cha ba dum bo day
I've heard some corny birds
Who tried to sing
But still a cat's the only cat
Who knows how to swing
Billy Boss the Russian Cat:
Who wants to dig a long-haired gig
Or stuff like that...
Tom and Scat:
...When everybody wants to be a cat?
A square with a horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Everytime he plays
Oh a rinky tinky tinky
Tom and Scat:
With a square in the act
You can set music back
To the cave man days
Oh a rinky tinky tinky
Marie, Tom and Scat:
Yes, 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 digs a swinging cat
(Harp begins)
If you want to turn me on
Play your horn, don't spare the tone
And blow a little soul into the tune
Let's take it to another key
Modulate, and wait for me
I'll take a few ad-libs and pretty soon...
The other cats will all commence
Congregatin' on the fence
Underneath the alley's only light
Where every note is out of sight
(Jazz music begins again)
Scat & Crew:
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
Hallejuah!
Scat & Crew:
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
I'm telling you!
Scat & Crew:
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
Scat & Crew:
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
Scat & Crew:
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
Hallejuah!
Scat & Crew:
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat...!
