Cats Soundtrack Miscellaneous Macavity SOLO (spoken): Macavity! DEMETER: Macavity's a mystery cat, he's called the hidden paw For he's a 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 in 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 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! BOMBALURINA: He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's DEMETER: And when the larder's looted BOMBALURINA: Or the jewel case is rifled DEMETER: Or when the milk is missing BOMBALURINA: Or another peke's been stifled DEMETER: Or the greenhouse glass is broken BOMBALURINA: And the trellis past repair BOTH: There's the wonder of the thing: MACAVITY'S NOT THERE! And when the crime has been disclosed the Secret Service say "It must have been Macavity!"-- but he's a mile away You'll be sure to find him resting, or a-licking of his thumbs, Or engaged in doing complicated long division sums! Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity He always has an alibi and one or two to spare What ever 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 their 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! (DANCE -- MACAVITY) CHORUS (spoken): Macavity's not there! SILLABUB: We have to find Old Deuteronomy |
