Mr. Mistoffelees

 

You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees

The original Conjuring Cat

The greatest magicians have something to learn

From Mr. Mistoffolees 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 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 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

 

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 it has sometimes been heard by the fire

When he was about on the roof

At least they 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

While he was asleep in the hall

 

And not long ago, this phenomenal cat

Produced seven kittens right out of a hat!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you

The marvellous, the magical Mr. Mistoffelees!
