You ought to ask Magical Mr. Mistoffelees;
The original conjuring cat.
There can be 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 Mr. Mistoffelees conjuring turn! And we all say,
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees! He is quiet, he’s 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 the 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 find that it is merely misplaced.
You have seen it one moment, and then it is gone!
But you’ll 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! Presto! Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees! His manner is vague and aloof,
And you would think there was nobody shyer.
But his voice can be heard on a roof!,
While he was curled up by the fire.
And he’s sometimes been heard by the fire,
While he was about on the roof.
At least we all heard, that somebody purred,
Which is incontestable proof!
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! And we all say,
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, 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! I give you,
The MAGICAL! The MARVELOUS!
MR. MISTOFFELEES!!!
