[Paul Nicholas - Magical Mister Mistoffelees lyrics]
The greatest magicians have
Something to learn
From mister Mistoffelees' conjuring turn
And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever a
Cat so clever as magical mister Mistoffelees
Oh! Well I never was there ever a
Cat so clever as magical mister 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 deceiving 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 is merely misplaced
You have seen it one moment
And then it is gone
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 mister Mistoffelees
Oh! Well I never was there ever a
Cat so clever as magical mister Mistoffelees
His manner is vague and aloof
You would think there is 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
(At least we 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 mister Mistoffelees
Oh! Well I never was there ever a
Cat so clever as magical mister Mistoffelees
Oh! Well I never was there ever a
Cat so clever as magical mister Mistoffelees
Oh! Well I never was there ever a
Cat so clever as magical mister Mistoffelees
Ladies and gentlemen
I give you the marvelous
Magical mr mistoffelees
Something to learn
From mister Mistoffelees' conjuring turn
And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever a
Cat so clever as magical mister Mistoffelees
Oh! Well I never was there ever a
