Mr Mistoffelees Lyrics

Mr Mistoffelees lyrics

Spoken Intro:
You ought to know about Mr. Mistoffelees the original Conjuring
Cat. (There can be no doubt about that.) Please listen to me and don't scoff.
All his inventions are off his own bat. Theres no such cat in the Metropolis:
He holds all the patent monopolies, For performing surprising illusions and
creating eccentric confusions.

Song:

The greatest magicians have
something to learn
from Mister Mistoffelees Conjuring Turn.
And you'll
all say:
Oh! well I never was there ever a cat so clever as Magical Mister
Mistoffelees.
He is quiet he is small he is black,
from his 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 is
merely misplaced;
You have seen it one moment and then it is gone,
but
you find it next week lying out on the lawn.

Chorus:
And we all say:
Oh! Well I never was there ever a cat so clever as Magical Mister
Mistoffelees.
(repeat)

My manner is vague and aloof,
You would
think there is nobody shyer,
But my voice has been heard on the roof
when
I was curled up by the fire,
and I've sometimes been heard by the
fire;
when I was around on the roof
(At least they all heard that
somebody purred)
which is incontestable proof
of my singular magical
powers,
and I've known the family to call
me in the garden for
hours
while I was asleep in the hall.
And not long ago this phenomenal
cat
produced seven kittens right out of a hat!

Chorus

And not
long ago this phenomenal cat,
produced seven kittens right out of a
hat!
