Magical Mr. Mistoffolees (From "Cats") - The Film Band

The greatest magicians have something to learn

From Mr Mistoffelees's conjuring turn

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'

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 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 a loof

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

Well at least they all heard that somebody purred

Which is incontestable 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'

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 magical

Mr Mistoffelees
