E7AmAmmaj7Am7Am6
Everybody wants to be a cat,
Fmaj7Dm6/FF7E7
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at,
AmAmmaj7Am7Am6
(Tell me!) Everybody's picking up on that feline beat,
Fmaj7Em7AmEm7Am
'Cause everything else is obso - lete!
DmDmmaj7Dm7G7CA square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born, every time he plays,
DmE7DmE7AmDmE7
But with a square in the act, you can set music back to the cave - man days!
F7E7
Ze - de, dum, bo - zay!
AmAmmaj7Am7Am6
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
Fmaj7Dm6/FF7E7
Still, a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing,
AmAmmaj7Am7Am6
Who wants to dig a long-haired gig, and stuff like that?
Fmaj7Em7AmEm7Am
When every - body wants to be a cat!
DmDmmaj7Dm7G7A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born,
C
Every time he plays, (Oh, a - rinky, tinky - tinky!)
DmE7DmE7AmDmE7
But with a square in the act, you can set music back to the cave - man days!
F7E7
(Oh, a - rinky, tinky - tinky!)
AmAmmaj7Am7Am6
Yes---, everybody wants to be a cat,
Fmaj7Dm6/FF7E7
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at,
AmAmmaj7Am7Am6
When playing jazz you always has a welcome mat,
Fmaj7Em7AmEm7AmAm
'Cause every - body digs a swing - ing cat!
(Two bar drum break) DmF7E7
