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.
There's no such cat in the metropolis
He holds all the patent monopolies
For performing surprising illusions
And creating eccentric confusions.
The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mister Mistoffelees' conjuring turn!
And you'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 his 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 is gone!
But you find it next week lying out on the lawn...
And we all say
Oh! Well, I never, was there ever
A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees
And we all say
Oh! Well, I never, was there ever
A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees
And we all say
Oh! Well, I never, was there ever
A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees
And we all say
Oh! Well, I never, was there ever
A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees
Well! His manner is vague and aloof
And 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 it's sometimes been heard by the fire
While 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
While he 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. Mistoffelees
Oh! Well, I never, was there ever
A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees
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. 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 Mister Mistoffelees!
