| 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 |
