Mr. Mistoffelees: Lyrics
RUM TUM TUGGER: The greatest magicians have something to learn From Mr. Mistoffelees's conjuring turn, presto
And you'll 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 and small, he is black From the 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 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 you'll 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"
His manner is vague and aloof 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 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 Mr. Mistoffelees"
"Oh, well I never, was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees"
And not long ago This phenomenal cat Produced seven kittens Right out of a hat
And we'll 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"
"Oh, well I never, was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees"
