Macavity's a mystery cat He's called the Hidden Paw For he's the master criminal Who can defy the law He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard The flying squad's despair For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there! Macavity! Macavity! There's no one like Macavity! He's broken every human law He breaks the law of gravity! His powers of levitation Would make a fakir stare And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there! You may seek him in the basement You may look up in the air But I tell you once and once again Macavity's not there! Macavity's a ginger cat He's very tall and thin You would know him if you saw him For his eyes are sunken in His brow is deeply lined with thought His head is highly domed His coat is dusty from neglect His whiskers are uncombed He sways his head from side to side With movements like a snake And when you think he's half asleep He's always wide awake! Macavity! Macavity! There's no one like Macavity! For he's a fiend in feline shape A monster of depravity! You may meet him in a by-street You may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered Then Macavity's not there! He's outwardly respectable I know. He cheats at cards And his footprints are not found In any file of Scotland Yard's And when the larder's looted Or the jewel case is rifled Or when the milk is missing Or another pig's been stifled Or the greenhouse glass is broken And the trellis past repair There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there! Macavity! Macavity! There's no one like Macavity! There never was a cat of such Deseasefulness and suavity He always has an alibi And one or two to spare Whatever time the deed took place Macavity wasn't there! And they say that all the cats Whose wicked deeds are widely known I might mention Mungojerrie I might mention Griddlebone Are nothing more than agents For the cat who all the time Just controls the operations The Napoleon of crime! Macavity! Macavity! There's no one like Macavity! He's a fiend in feline shape A monster of depravity! You may meet him in a by-street You may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered Then Macavity Macavity Macavity Macavity When a crime's discovered Then Macavity's not there!
