Everybody wants to be a cat

Lyrics:
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‘cause everything else is obsolete.


Now a square with a horn,
can make you wish you weren’t born,
every time he plays.
And with a square in the act,
he can set music back
to the caveman days.

I’ve heard some corny bird who tried to sing,
but a cat’s the only cat
who knows how to swing.
Who wants to dig
a long-haired gig
or stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat.

A square with that horn,
makes you wish you weren’t born,
every time he plays.
And with a square in the act,
he’s gonna set this music back
to the caveman days. 

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 swingin’ cat.
Everybody digs a swingin’ cat.

Classroom benefits:
Let children dance, follow the rythm and enjoy the music.
