Everybody Wants To Be a Cat

Intro:C#m7  Ab7 A7

C#m7           Ab7                 C#m7
Everybody wants to be a cat,
                   A7
Because a cat's the only cat
          Ab7                     C#m7
Who knows where it's at.
C#m7                Ab7                   C#m7           A7
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,
                                                C#m7
'Cause everything else is obsolete.

CHORUS
            F#m             F#m/F                  F#m/E              B7
Now a square with a horn, makes you wish you weren't born,
        E
Ever'time he plays;
                   D#°                Ab7            D#°           A7
And with a square in the act, He can set music back 
            C#m7 D#°  Ab7
To the caveman days.

        C#m7                    Ab7                       C#m7
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
          A7                                Ab7                C#m7
But a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing.

         C#m7           Ab7                         C#m7            A7
Who wants to dig Along-haired gig or stuff like that?
                                            Ab7 C#m7
When everybody wants to be a cat.

(SOLO)

CHORUS

 C#m7        Ab7                C#m7
Everybody wants to be a cat,
                   A7
Because a cat's the only cat
          Ab7                   C#m7
Who knows where it's at;
          C#m7                Ab7                   C#m7            A7
While playin' jazz you always have a welcome mat,
                                         Ab7       C#m7
'Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.
                                      C#m       C#m9
Everybody wants to be cat.
