CATS - Mr. Mistoffelees lyrics
rate meYou ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees<br />
The original conjuring cat<br />
The greatest magicians have something to learn<br />
From Mr. Mistoffelees's conjuring turn, presto<br />
<br />
And you'll all say<br />
"Oh, well I never, was there ever<br />
A cat so clever as magical<br />
Mr. Mistoffelees"<br />
<br />
"Oh, well I never, was there ever<br />
A cat so clever as magical<br />
Mr. Mistoffelees"<br />
<br />
He is quiet and small, he is black<br />
From the ears to the tip of his tail<br />
He can creep through the tiniest crack<br />
He can walk on the narrowest rail<br />
<br />
He can pick any card from a pack<br />
He is equally cunning with dice<br />
He is always decieving you into believing<br />
That he's only hunting for mice<br />
<br />
He can play any trick with a cork<br />
Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste<br />
If you look for a knife or a fork<br />
And you think it was merely misplaced<br />
<br />
You have seen it one moment<br />
And then it is gone<br />
But you find it next week<br />
Lying out on the lawn<br />
<br />
And you'll all say<br />
"Oh, well I never, was there ever<br />
A cat so clever as magical<br />
Mr. Mistoffelees"<br />
<br />
"Oh, well I never, was there ever<br />
A cat so clever as magical<br />
Mr. Mistoffelees"<br />
<br />
His manner is vague and aloof<br />
You would think there was nobody shyer<br />
But his voice has been heard on the roof<br />
When he was curled up by the fire<br />
<br />
And he's sometimes been heard by the fire<br />
When he was about on the roof<br />
At least we all heard that somebody purred<br />
Which is uncontestable proof<br />
<br />
Of his singular magical powers<br />
And I've known the family to call<br />
Him in from the garden for hours<br />
When he was asleep in the hall<br />
<br />
And not long ago<br />
This phenomenal cat<br />
Produced seven kittens<br />
Right out of a hat<br />
<br />
And we'll all say<br />
"Oh, well I never, was there ever<br />
A cat so clever as magical<br />
Mr. Mistoffelees"<br />
<br />
"Oh, well I never, was there ever<br />
A cat so clever as magical<br />
Mr. Mistoffelees"<br />
<br />
"Oh, well I never, was there ever<br />
A cat so clever as magical<br />
Mr. Mistoffelees"<br />
<br />
"Oh, well I never, was there ever<br />
A cat so clever as magical<br />
Mr. Mistoffelees"<br />
<br />
"Oh, well I never, was there ever<br />
A cat so clever as magical<br />
Mr. Mistoffelees"<br />
<br />
"Oh, well I never, was there ever<br />
A cat so clever as magical<br />
Mr. Mistoffelees"<br />
<br />
Ladies and gentlemen<br />
I give you the marvelous<br />
Magical Mr. Mistoffelees, presto
