CATS - Mr. Mistoffolees lyrics
rate meThe Rum Tum Tugger calls in "Mr. Mistoffolees," the original <br />
"conjuring cat" to use his magical powers to bring back their <br />
leader. Mistoffolees succeeds in getting back all of the lights, <br />
relocating Old Deuteronomy, and showing off his magic tricks, <br />
including his infamous "conjuring turn."<br />
<br />
SOLO: <br />
You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffolees! <br />
The original conjuring cat <br />
<br />
The greatest magicians have something to learn <br />
From Mister Mistoffolees' conjuring turn <br />
And you'll all say <br />
<br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
He is quiet, he is 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 deceiving 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 is merely misplaced <br />
<br />
You have seen it one moment and then it's gone! <br />
But you find it next week lying on the lawn <br />
And we all say <br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
And we all say <br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
And we all say <br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
And we all say <br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
MR. MISTOFFOLEES: <br />
Well! My manner is vague and aloof <br />
You would think there was nobody shyer <br />
But voice has been heard on the roof <br />
When I was curled up by the fire <br />
<br />
And I've sometimes been heard by the fire <br />
When I was about on the roof <br />
At least they all heard that somebody purred <br />
Which is uncontestable proof of my singular magical powers <br />
And I've known the family to call me in from the garden for hours <br />
While I was asleep in the hall <br />
<br />
SOLO: <br />
And not long ago this phenomenal cat <br />
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat <br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
And we all say <br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
SOLO: <br />
And not long ago this phenomenal cat <br />
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat <br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
And we all say <br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
Oh! Well I never was there ever <br />
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees <br />
<br />
SOLO: <br />
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magical Mr. Mistoffolees!
