Ev’rybody Wants to Be a Cat Scatman Crothers, Phil Harris & Thurl Ravenscroft

[SCAT CAT]
Well, little lady, let me elucidate here

Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at

[THOMAS O'MALLEY]
Tell me
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
'Cause everything else is obsolete

[SCAT CAT, spoken]
Strictly high-button shoes!

[THOMAS O'MALLEY]
A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born

[SCAT CAT]
Ever'time he plays

[THOMAS O'MALLEY]
But with a square in the act
You can set music back

[SCAT CAT]
To the cave man days
Cha-cha-ba-dum-bo-day
