Songs From Aristocats

Everybody Want's To Be A Cat

A square with a horn
makes you wish you weren't born
Everytime he plays
But with a square in the act
you can set music back
to the caveman days

I've heard some corny birds
who tried to sing
Still a cat's the only cat
who knows how to swing

Who knows how to dig
a longhaird gig
and stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat

A square with a horn
makes you wish you weren't born
everytime that he plays
oh a rinki, tinki, tinki
Oh with a square in the act
you can set music back
to the caveman days
oh a rinki, tinki, tinki

Everybody wants to be a cat
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at

When playing jaz
You always has
A welcome mat
'cause everybody digs
a swingin cat

Oh boy, fellas
let's rock this joint!

Aha, groovy cats
Ahahaha!

Shanhi, hung, hung
egg foo yung
fortune cookie always wrong
That's a hot one

Everybody, Everybody
Everybody want's to be a cat
hallelujah!
Everybody want's to be a cat (etc.)

Thomas O'Malley Cat

I've got that wonderlust
Gotta walk the scene
Gotta kick up highway dust
Feel the grass that's green
Gotta strut them city streets
Showin' off my eclat, yeah
Tellin' my friends of the social elite
Or some cute cat I happen to meet
That I'm
Abraham deLacy
Giuseppe Casey
Thomas O'Malley
O'Malley the alley cat!

I'm the king of the highway
Prince of the boulevard
Duke of the avant garde
The world is my backyard
So if you're goin' my way
That's the road you wanna seek
Calcutta to Rome or home-sweet-home
in Paris
Magnifique, you all

I only got myself
And this big old world
When I sip that cup of life
With my fingers curled
I don't worry what road to take
I don't have to think of that
Whatever I take is the road I make
It's the road of life, make no mistake
for me
Yeah, Abraham deLacy
Giuseppe Casey

Thomas O'Malley
O'Malley, the alley cat!
That's right
And I'm very proud of that, yeah
