The jazz song Everybody wants to be a cat by Disney (The Aristocats) is composed of three verses and a chorus.

The structure of the lyrics is simple:

Verse 1 – Chorus – Verse 2 – Chorus – Verse 3

Verse 1

Everybody 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‘Cause everything else is obsolete

Chorus

Now a square with a horn,
Can make you wish
You weren’t born,
Ever’time he plays;
And with a square in the act,
He can set music back
To the caveman days

Verse 2

I’ve heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
But a cat’s the only cat
Who knows how to swing.
Who wants to diga long-haired gigor stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat

Chorus

A square with that horn,
Makes you wish you weren’t born,
Ever’time he plays;
And with a square in the act,
He’s gonna set this music back
to the Stone Age days

Verse 3

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
