[00:03.627]Mr. Mistoffelees
[00:05.902]You ought to know Mr. Mistoffelees!
[00:09.033]The Original Conjuring Cat--
[00:11.310](There can be no doubt about that).
[00:13.874]Please listen to me and don't scoff. All his
[00:17.002]Inventions are off his own bat.
[00:20.127]There's no such Cat in the metropolis;
[00:22.693]He holds all the patent monopolies
[00:25.257]For performing suprising illusions
[00:27.816]And creating eccentric confusions.
[00:30.949]At prestidigitation
[00:32.660]And at legerdemain
[00:34.090]He'll defy examination
[00:35.512]And deceive you again.
[00:37.506]The greatest magicians have something to learn
[00:40.637]From Mr. Mistoffelees' Conjuring Turn.
[00:43.771]Presto!
[00:44.911]Away we go!
[00:46.896]And we all say: OH!
[00:48.597]Well I never!
[00:50.019]Was there ever
[00:51.436]A Cat so clever
[00:53.426]As Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!
[00:57.127]He is quiet and small, he is black
[01:00.536]From his ears to the tip of his tail;
[01:03.668]He can creep through the tiniest crack,
[01:06.793]He can walk on the narrowest rail.
[01:09.648]He can pick any card from a pack,
[01:12.200]He is equally cunning with dice;
[01:14.763]He is always deceiving you into believing
[01:17.607]That he's only hunting for mice.
[01:20.172]He can play any trick with a cork
[01:22.727]Or a spoon and a bit of fish-paste;
[01:25.283]If you look for a knife or a fork
[01:28.128]And you think it is merely misplaced--
[01:30.964]You have seen it one moment, and then it is gawn!
[01:34.945]But you'll find it next week lying out on the lawn.
[01:38.637]And we all say: OH!
[01:40.627]Well I never!
[01:42.044]Was there ever
[01:43.186]A Cat so clever
[01:44.891]As Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!
[01:48.018]His manner is vague and aloof,
[01:51.153]You would think there was nobody shyer--
[01:54.002]But his voice has been heard on the roof
[01:56.288]When he was curled up by the fire.
[01:59.137]And he's sometimes been heard by the fire
[02:01.701]When he was about on the roof--
[02:04.264](At least we all heard that somebody purred)
[02:07.681]Which is incontestable proof
[02:09.953]Of his singular magical powers:
[02:12.521]And I have known the family to call
[02:15.290]Him in from the garden for hours,
[02:17.530]While he was asleep in the hall.
[02:20.891]And not long ago this phenomenal Cat
[02:24.536]Produced seven kittens right out of a hat!
[02:28.746]And we all said: OH!
[02:30.718]Well I never!
[02:32.395]Did you ever
[02:33.518]Know a Cat so clever
[02:34.919]As Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!
