Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?

Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
(Sure) she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
(You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty)
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

I want to be where the people are
I want to see
Want to see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those
(Whad'ya call 'em) oh, feet

Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a
(What's that word again) street

Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the Sun
Wanderin' free
Wish I could be part of that world

All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were

Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted

All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you
See you

Evebody 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'Cause everything else is obsolete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
Makes you wish you weren't born
Everytime he plays
But with a square in the act
He can set music back
To the cave man days

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?
Everybody wants to be a cat

A square with that horn
Makes you wish you weren't born
Everytime he plays
But with a square in the act
He's gonna set this music back
To the cave man 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
Everybody
Everybody wants to be a cat

Everybody
Everybody
Everybody want to be, be a cat
