Scales and arpeggios
(Sherman / Sherman)
Do-mi-so-do do-so-mi-do
Every truly cultured music student knows
you must learn your scales and your arpeggios
bring the music ringing from your chest and not your nose
while you sing your scales and your arpeggios
If you're faithful to your daily practicing
you will find your progress is encouraging
do-mi-so-mi do-mi-so-mi-fa-la, so it goes
when you do your scales and your arpeggios
Do-mi-so-do ....
do-mi-so-do do-so-mi-do, do-mi-so-do do-so-mi-do
Though at first it seems as though it doesn't
show
like a tree ability will bloom and grow
if you're smart, you'll learn by heart what every artist knows
you must sing your scales and your arpe-e-eggios
Thomas O'Malley Cat
(Gilkyson)
I like a cheech-a-cheech-chee-roni like they
make at home
or a healthy fish with the big backbone
I'm Abraham de Lacy - Giuseppe Casey
Thomas O'Malley, O'Malley, the alley cat
I've got that wanderlust, 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
and I'm Abraham de Lacy - Giuseppe Casey
Thomas O'Malley, O'Malley, the alley cat
I'm king of the highway, Prince of the Boulevard
Duke of Avantgarde, 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
Ev'rybody wants to be a
cat (Huddleston / Rinker)
Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at (tell me)
everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
cause everything else is obsolete
A square with a horn aake you wish you weren't
born
ever'time 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 wants to dig along-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 (oh, rikkie-tikkie-tikkie)
with a square in the act you can set music back
to the Caveman days (oh, rikkie-tikkie-tinkie)
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
If you want to turn me on
play your horn don't spear the tone
and blow a little soul into the tune
Let's take it to another key
modulate, wait for me
I'll take a few ad libs and pretty soon
The other cats will all commence
congregating on the fence
beneath the alley's only light
where ev'rynight is out of sight
Everybody, everybody
everybody wants to be a cat (hallelujah)
everybody, everybody
everybody wants to be a cat (I'm telling you)
everybody, everybody
everybody wants to be a cat (yeah)
everybody, everybody
everybody wants to be a cat (hmm)
everybody, everybody
everybody wants to be a cat (hallelujah)
everybody, everybody
everybody wants to be a cat
She never felt alone
(Sherman / Sherman)
This song was not included in the theatrical release of The Aristocats.
Through all our days
in tender ways
her love for us was shown
and so, you see
we can't leave her alone
She's always say
that we're the greatest
treasure she could own
because with us
she never felt alone
Her troubles would disappear
long as she could have us near
darling, can't you see
we're her only family
Her days were filled
with happy hours
although her youth had flown
and that is why
she never felt alone |
