Mr. Mistoffelees |
| You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees! |
| The original conjuring cat |
| (There can be no doubt about that) |
| Please, listen to me, and don’t scoff. |
| All his Inventions are off his own bat. |
| The greatest magicians have something to learn |
| From Mister Mistoffelees' conjuring turn |
| And we’ll all say |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees |
| He is quiet, he is 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 is merely misplaced |
| You have seen it one moment and then it’s gone! |
| But you find it next week lying on the lawn |
| And we all say |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| And we all say |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| And we all say |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| And we all say |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| Well! |
| My manner is vague and aloof |
| You would think there was nobody shyer |
| But voice has been heard on the roof |
| When I was curled up by the fire |
| And I’ve sometimes been heard by the fire |
| When I was about on the roof |
| At least they all heard that somebody purred |
| Which is uncontestable proof of my singular magical powers |
| And I’ve known the family to call me in from the garden for hours |
| While I was asleep in the hall |
| And not long ago this phenomenal cat |
| Produced seven kittens right out of a hat |
| And we all say |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| And not long ago this phenomenal cat |
| Produced seven kittens right out of a hat |
| And we all say |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| Oh! |
| Well I never was there ever |
| A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
| Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magical Mr. Mistoffolees |
