CATS - Mr. Mistoffolees lyrics

rate me

The 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!
