Mr. Mistoffelees (From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats")

The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mr. Mistoffelees Conjuring Turn
And we all say
Oh, well I never, was there ever
A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees?
I am quiet and small, I am black
From my ears to the tip of my tail
I can creep through the tiniest crack
I can walk on the narrowest rail
I can pick any card from a pack
I am equally cunning with dice
I am always deceiving you into believing
That youre only hunting for mice
I 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 youll find it next week lying out on the lawn
And we all say
Oh, well I never, was there ever
A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees?
My manner is vague and aloof
You would think there was nobody shier
But my voice has been heard on the roof
When I was curled up by the fire
And Ive sometimes been heard by the fire
When I was about on the roof
At least they all heard that somebody purred
Which is incontestable proof
Of my singular magical powers
And Ive known the family to call
Me in from the garden for hours
When I was asleep in the hall
And not long ago this phenomenal cat
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat
And they 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?
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?
Oh, well I never, was there ever
A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees?
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?
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 Gentleman, I give you the Marvelous, Magical Mr. Mistoffelees
