Everybody Wants To Be A Cat Composer(s): Floyd Huddleston; Al Rinker Performer(s): Phil Harris; and various other artists
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because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat 'cause everything else is obsolete Now a square with a horn can make you wish you weren't born ever'time he plays and with a square in the act he can set music back to the caveman days I've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 dig a long-haired gig or stuff like that? When everybody wants to be a cat 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 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 digs a swingin' cat
I'm Just A Country Boy Composer(s): Fred Brooks; Mashall Barer Performer(s): Harry Belafonte and multiple other artists
I ain't gonna marry in the fall And I ain't gonna marry in the spring For I'm in love with a pretty little girl Who wears a diamond ring
For.....I'm just a country boy Money have I none But I've got silver in the stars And gold in the morning sun And gold in the morning sun
I'm never gonna kiss those ruby red lips Of the prettiest girl in town I'm never gonna ask her if she'd marry me 'Cause I know she'd turn me down
'Cause.....I'm just a country boy Money, money have I none But I've got silver in the stars And gold in the morning sun And gold in the morning sun
I Never could afford a store-bought ring With a sparkling diamond stone All I could afford was a loving heart The only one I own
'Cause.....I'm just a country boy Money, money have I none But I've got silver, silver in the stars And gold in the morning sun And gold in the morning sun
