Mr Mistoffolees Lyrics

The Rum Tum Tugger calls in "Mr. Mistoffolees," the original 

                  "conjuring cat" to use his magical powers to bring back their


                  leader. Mistoffolees succeeds in getting back all of the
lights, 

                  relocating Old Deuteronomy, and showing off his magic tricks,


                  including his infamous "conjuring turn."

 

                  SOLO: 

                  You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffolees! 

                  The original conjuring cat 

                    

                  The greatest magicians have something to learn 

                  From Mister Mistoffolees' conjuring turn 

                  And you'll all say 

                    

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  He is quiet, he is 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 is merely misplaced 

                    

                  You have seen it one moment and then it's gone! 

                  But you find it next week lying on the lawn 

                  And we all say 

                    

                  ALL: 

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  And we all say 

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  And we all say 

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  And we all say 

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  MR. MISTOFFOLEES: 

                  Well! My manner is vague and aloof 

                  You would think there was nobody shyer 

                  But 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 about on the roof 

                  At least they all heard that somebody purred 

                  Which is uncontestable proof of my singular magical powers


                  And I've known the family to call me in from the garden for
hours 

                  While I was asleep in the hall 

                    

                  SOLO: 

                  And not long ago this phenomenal cat 

                  Produced seven kittens right out of a hat 

                    

                  ALL: 

                  And we all say 

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  SOLO: 

                  And not long ago this phenomenal cat 

                  Produced seven kittens right out of a hat 

                    

                  ALL: 

                  And we all say 

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  Oh! Well I never was there ever 

                  A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees 

                    

                  SOLO: 

                  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magical Mr.
Mistoffolees!
