TITLE: Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat
Lyrics and Chords


[Aristocats]

Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
Ev'rybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
'Cause ev'rything else is obsolete

/ Em Em/D# Em/D Em/C# / C - C7 B7 / 1st / C Bm7 EmBm7 Em /

{Refrain}
Now a square with a horn, makes you wish you weren't born
Ev'ry time he plays (a rinky tinky tinky tinky)
But with a square in the act you can set music back
To the caveman days (a rinky tinky tinky tinky)

/ Am Am/maj7 Am7 Am6 / G - - - / 1st / EmAm B7 C7 B7 /

I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing
Still a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing
Who wants to dig a long-haired gig or stuff like that
When ev'rybody wants to be a cat

{Refrain}

Yes, ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
When playin' scat who always has a welcome mat
'Cause ev'rybody digs a swingin' cat

Ev'rybody, ev'rybody
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
Ev'rybody, ev'rybody
Ev'rybody wants to be a cat
