You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees
The original conjuring cat
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
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 the 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
And if you look for a knife or a fork
And you think it is merely misplaced
You have seen it one moment
Then it is gone
You 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
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
My manner is vague and aloof
You would think there was 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 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
When I was asleep in the hall
And not long ago
This phenomenal cat
Produced seven kittens
Right out of a hat
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

Ladies and gentlemen
I give you the magical, Mr. Mistoffelees
