Sarah Brightman - Macavity: The Mystery Cat Lyrics
Macavitys a mystery cat, hes called the hidden pawFor hes the master criminal who can defy the lawHes the bafflement of scotland yard, the flying squads despairFor when they reach the scene of crime macavitys not there!Macavity, macavity, theres no one like macavityHes broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravityHis powers of levitation would make a fakir stareBut when you reach the scene of crime macavitys not there!You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the airBut I tell you once and once again macavitys not there!Macavitys a ginger cat, hes very tall and thinYou would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunked inHis brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domedHis coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombedHe sways his head from side to side with movements like a snakeAnd when you think hes half asleep, hes always wide awakeMacavity, macavity, theres no one like macavityFor hes a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravityYou may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the squareBut when a crimes discovered then macavitys not there!Hes outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cardsAnd his footprints are not found in any files of scotland yardsAnd when the larders looted or the jewel case is rifledOr when the milk is missing or another pekes been stifledOr the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repairTheres the wonder of the thing macavitys not there!Macavity, macavity, theres no one like macavityThere never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavityHe always has an alibi and one or two to spareWhat ever time the deed took place macavitys not there!And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely knownI might mention mungojerrie, I might mention griddleboneAre nothing more than agents for the cat who all the timeJust controls the operations: the napolean of crime!Macavity, macavity, theres no one like macavityHes a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravityYou may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the squareBut when a crimes discovered then macavityMacavity, macavity, macavityWhen a crimes discovered then macavitys not there!
