SONG: Macavity: The Mystery Cat ARTIST: Andrew Lloyd Webber From the musical, Cats C5 - C5 - F5 - G5 - Macavity's a mystery cat, he's called the hidden paw C5 - C5 - F5 For he's the master criminal who can defy the law G5 -- C5 - C5 - F5 - Ab5 He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there! C5 - C5 - F5 - D5 - Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity C5 - C5 - F5 - D5 - He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity C5 - C5 - F5 - F#5 His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare But 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 G5 - But I tell you once and once again Macavity's not there! C5 - C5 - F5 Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin G5 -- C5 - C5 - F5 - G5 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 C5 - C5 - F5 - D5 - Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity C5 - C5 - F5 - D5 - For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity C5 - C5 - F5 - F#5 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, 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 case is rifled Or when the milk is missing or another peke's been stifled C5 - C5 - F5 - Ab5 Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there! C5 - C5 - F5 - D5 - Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity C5 - C5 - F5 - D5 - There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity C5 - C5 - F5 - F#5 He always has an alibi and one or two to spare What ever time the deed took place Macavity wasn't there! And when the Foreign Office find a Treaty's gone astray Or the Admiralty lose some plans or drawings by the way And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say: "It must have been Macavity!" but he's a mile away! C5 - C5 - F5 - Ab5 You'll be sure to find him resting or alicking of his thumbs, or engaged in doing complicated long division sums C5 - C5 - F5 - D5 - Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity C5 - C5 - F5 - D5 - There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity C5 - C5 - F5 - F#5 He always has an alibi and one or two to spare What ever 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, Rumpleteazer, Griddlebone) C5 - C5 - F5 - Ab5 Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time G5 Just controls the operations: the Napoleon of crime! C5 - C5 - F5 - D5 - Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity C5 - C5 - F5 - D5 - For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity C5 - C5 - F5 - F#5 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! When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
