Macavity: The Mystery Cat - Cats The Musical
Written by：T. S. Eliot/A. L. Webber
Macavity's a mystery cat
He's called the hidden paw
For he's the master criminal who can defy the law
He's the bafflement of Scotland yard
The flying squads 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 levatation would make a fakir stare
And when you reach the scene of crime
Macavity's not there
You may seek up 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 is very tall and thin
You would know him if you saw him
For his eyes are sunken in
His brow is deeply lined with 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
For 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 crimes 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 cases 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
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
