Broadway Cats the Musical - Mr. Mistoffelees Lyrics
You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees The original Conjuring Cat The greatest magicians have something to learn From Mr. Mistoffelees's conjuring turn
Presto!
And you'll 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!
He is quiet and 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 decieving 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 was 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!
His manner is vague and aloof You would think there was nobody shyer But his voice has been heard on the roof When he was curled up by the fire
And he's sometimes been heard by the fire When he was about on the roof (At least we all heard that somebody purred) Which is uncontestable proof
Of his singular magical powers And I've known the family to call Him 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. Mistoffelees!
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!
Ladies and gentlemen I give you the marvelous Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!
Presto!
