TUGGER (spoken): You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees! The original conjuring cat-- (There can be no doubt about that!) Please listen to me and don't scoff; All his Inventions are off his own bat There's no such cat in the metropolis He holds all the patent monopolies For performing surprising illusions And creating eccentric confusions!
(sings) The greatest magicians have something to learn From Mister Mistoffelees' conjuring turn
MISTOFFELEES: Presto!
CHORUS:
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
TUGGER: He is quiet, he is 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 is merely misplaced You have seen it one moment and then it's gone But you find it next week lying on the lawn!
CHORUS: 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
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
TUGGER: 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 uncontestable 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
CHORUS: Oh! Well I never! Was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees
(DANCE -- MISTOFFELEES)
TUGGER: And not long ago this phenomenal cat Produced seven kittens right out of a hat!

CHORUS: 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
TUGGER (spoken): Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the marvelous, magical Mr. Mistoffelees! Presto!
