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
For his inventions are off his own bat
There's no such cat in the metropolis he holds all the patented monopolies
For performing surprising allusions, and creating eccentric confusions
The greatest magicians have something to learn from Mr. Mistofelees conjuring turn

And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistofelees

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 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 think it is merely misplaced
You have seen it one moment but then it is gone!
But you find it next week lying out in the lawn

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!

My manner is vague and aloof
You would think there was nobody shyer
But my voice has been heard on the roof
When I was curled up by the fire
And I've sometimes been heard by the fire
While I was about on the roof
At least they all heard that somebody purred
Which is incontestable 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. 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
The marvelous
Mr. Mistoffelees!
