You ought ask the Magical 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 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 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 And 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 gawn! 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. Mistoffelees? PRESTO! . 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? . 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 he’s sometimes been heard by the fire When he was about on the roof At least they 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? Magical! . 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? . And not long ago, this phenominal Cat, Produced seven kittens, right out of a hat! . 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? . I give you the magical, the marvelous…Mr. Mistoffelees!
