Macavity
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
And when you 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 telling 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 sunked 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
Well 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
He's outwardly respectable
I know he cheats at cards
And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
And when the larder's looted or the jewel case is rifled
Or when the milk is missing or another peke's been stifled
Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair
There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there
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 the operations the Napolean 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's not there
We have to find Old Deuteronomy
