Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw--
For he's a master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime--Macavity's not there!
~wav~ .

.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime--Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air--
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!

Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin;
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed;
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake.
~wav~ .

.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity.
For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square--
But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there!
~wav~ .

.

He's outwardly respectable.

I know, he cheats at cards.
And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
And when the larder's looted, or the jewel-case is rifled,
Or when the milk is missing, or another Peke's been stifled,
Or the greenhouse glass is broken, and the trellis past repair--
There's a wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there!
~wav~ .

.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
There never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.
He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare:
Whatever time the deed took place--MACAVITY WASN'T THERE!
~wav~ .

.

And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
(I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddle- bone)
Are nothing more then agents for the Cat who all the time
Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!
~wav~ .

.

.

Macavity, Macavity there's no one like Macavity,
For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square--
But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity...Macavity Macavity...Macavity....
~wav~

Macavity's not there!
