Michelle Shocked - 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 Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat, 'cause everything else is obsolete.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, Ever'time he plays; And 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 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, Ever'time he plays; And with a square in the act, He's gonna set this music back To the Stone Age 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.
