Karaoke Macavity: The Mystery Cat

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 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 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 tell 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 sunken 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
Oh, 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 out wardly 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 green house glass is broken and the trellis past repair
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
