Mr. Mistoffelees

You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees
The original conjuring cat
The greates 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 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
And if you look for a knife or a fork
And you think it is merely misplaced

You have seen it one moment
Then it is gone
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
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
When I was about on the roof
At least they all hear 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
When 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

Produced seven kittens right out of a hat

Oh, well I never, was there ever a cat so clever
As magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Ladies and gentlemen
I give you the magical, Mr. Mistoffelees
