humphrey searle - macavity, the mystery cat كلمات الأغنية

Loading...

macavity’s a mystery cat: he’s called the hidden paw—
for he’s the master criminal who can defy the law
he’s the bafflement of scotland yard, the flying squad’s despair:
for 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 of levitation would make a fakir stare
and when you reach thе scene of crime—macavity’s not thеre!
you may seek him in the bas_m_nt, 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 with 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
for 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 outwardly respectable. (they say he cheats at cards.)
and his footprints are not found in any file of scotland yard’s
and when the larder’s looted, or the jewel_case is rifled
or when the milk is missing, or another peke’s been stifled
or the greenhouse glass is broken, and the trellis past repair—
ay, there’s the wonder of the thing! macavity’s not there!
and when the foreign office find a treaty’s gone astray
or the admiralty lose some plans and drawings by the way
there may be a scr_p of paper in the hall or on the stair—
but it’s useless to investigate—macavity’s not there!
and when the loss has been disclosed, the secret service say:
‘it must have been macavity!’—but he’s a mile away
you’ll be sure to find him resting, or a_l!cking of his thumbs;
or engaged in doing complicated long division sums

macavity, macavity, there’s no one like macavity
there never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity
he always has an alibi, and one or two to spare:
at whatever time the deed took place—macavity wasn’t there!
and they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
(i might mention mungojerrie, i might mention griddlebone)
are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
just controls their operations: the napoleon of crime!
