Macavity: The Mystery Cat Lyrics - Cats

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 

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 in 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 

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity 

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

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 cases 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 the wonder of the thing, Macavity's not there! 

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! 

And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known 

(I might mention Mungojerrie) 

(I might mention Griddlebone) 

Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time 

Just controls the operations, the Napoleon of crime! 

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity 

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 

When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there! 

Macavity's not there!
