Mr. Mistoffelees Lyrics

You ought ask Mr. Mistoffelees ! The original conjuring cat. The greatest magicians have something to learn, from Mr. Mistoffolees Conjuring Turns. Presto ! 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 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. And 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. 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? 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 have 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 he 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. Mistoffolees? Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever a cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees? 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. 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? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magical Mr. Mistoffolees!
