Mr Mistoffelees (From "Cats") |
| You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees |
| The original conjuring cat |
| Please, listen to me… |
| And don’t scoff |
| All his inventions are of his own bat |
| There’s no such cat |
| In the metropolis |
| He holds all the Pitan monopolies |
| For performing surprising illusions |
| And creating eccentric confusions |
| The greatest magicians have something to learn |
| And we all say |
| «Oh, well I never, was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical |
| Mr. Mistoffelees» |
| «Oh, well I never, was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical |
| Mr. Mistoffelees» |
| He is quiet and small, he is black |
| From the ears to the tip of his tail |
| He can creep through the tiniest crack |
| He can walk on the narrowest rail |
| He can pick any card from a pack |
| He is equally cunning with dice |
| He is always deceiving you into believing |
| That he’s only hunting for mice |
| He can play any trick with a cork |
| Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste |
| If you look for a knife or a fork |
| And you think it was merely misplaced |
| You have seen it one moment |
| And then it is gone |
| But you find it next week |
| Lying out on the lawn |
| And you’ll all say |
| «Oh, well I never, was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical |
| Mr. Mistoffelees» |
| «Presto!» |
| «Oh, well I never, was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical |
| Mr. Mistoffelees» |
| His manner is vague and aloof |
| You would think there was nobody shyer |
| But his voice has been heard on the roof |
| When he was curled up by the fire |
| And he’s sometimes been heard by the fire |
| When he was about on the roof |
| At least we all heard that somebody purred |
| Which is uncontestable proof |
| Of his singular magical powers |
| And I’ve known the family to call |
| Him in from the garden for hours |
| When he was asleep in the hall |
| And not long ago |
| This phenomenal cat |
| Produced seven kittens |
| Right out of a hat |
| And we’ll all say |
| «Oh, well I never, was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical |
| Mr. Mistoffelees» |
| «Oh, well I never, was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical |
| Mr. Mistoffelees» |
| «Oh, well I never, was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical |
| Mr. Mistoffelees» |
| «Oh, well I never, was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical |
| Mr. Mistoffelees» |
| «Oh, well I never, was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical |
| Mr. Mistoffelees» |
| «Oh, well I never, was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical |
| Mr. Mistoffelees» |
| Ladies and gentlemen |
| I give you the magical, Marvelous Mr. Mistoffelees |
| «Presto!» |
