Mr. Mistoffelees Lyrics - Cats

You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees 

The original conjuring cat 

Please, listen to me... 

And don't scoff 

All his inventions are of his own bat 

There's no such cat 

In the metropolis 

He holds all the Pitan monopolies 

For performing surprising illusions 

And creating eccentric confusions 

The greatest magicians have something to learn 

From Mr. Mistoffelees's conjuring turn 

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" 

He is quiet and 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 a 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 

If you look for a knife or a fork 

And you think it was merely misplaced

You have seen it one moment 

And then it is gone 

But you find it next week 

Lying out on the lawn 

And you'll all say 

"Oh, well I never, was there ever 

A cat so clever as magical 

Mr. Mistoffelees" 

"Presto!" 

"Oh, well I never, was there ever 

A cat so clever as magical 

Mr. Mistoffelees" 

His manner is vague and aloof 

You would think there was nobody shyer 

But his voice has been heard on the roof 

When he was curled up by the fire 

And he's sometimes been heard by the fire 

When he was about on the roof 

At least we all heard that somebody purred 

Which is uncontestable proof 

Of his singular magical powers 

And I've known the family to call 

Him in from the garden for hours 

When he was asleep in the hall 

And not long ago 

This phenomenal cat 

Produced seven kittens 

Right out of a hat 

And we'll 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" 

"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" 

Ladies and gentlemen 

I give you the magical, Marvelous Mr. Mistoffelees
