You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees
The original Conjuring Cat

    C5
The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mr. Mistoffelees's conjuring turn

Presto!

And we all say:

F5     -    C5      -       G5 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
  C5        -      F5     -   F5   -    Bb5 - Bb5 -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!

F5     -    C5      -       G5 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
  C5        -      F5     -   F5   -    Bb5 - Bb5 -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!


      F5           -             Ab5 -
He is quiet, he is small, he is black
         Bb5          -          F5 -
From his ears to the tip of his tail
       F5            -            Ab5 -
He can creep through the tiniest crack
       Bb5          -         Ab5 -
He can walk on the narrowest rail

       Bb5         -         Ab5 -
He can pick any card from a pack
      C#5          -        F5 -
He is equally cunning with dice
      Bb5         -         F5 -
He is always decieving you into believing
          Eb5        -      C5 
That he's only hunting for mice

                C5
He can play any trick with a cork
                 C5
Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste
                  C5
If you look for a knife or a fork
                 C5 -
And you think it is merely misplaced


         C5
You have seen it one moment, and then it is gone!
                                                C5
But you find it next week lying out on the lawn!


And we all say:

F5     -    C5      -       G5 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
  C5        -      F5     -   F5   -    Bb5 - Bb5 -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!

F5     -    C5      -       G5 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
  C5        -      F5     -   F5   -    Bb5 - Bb5 -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!


    F5         -         Ab5 -
His manner is vague and aloof
          Bb5          -          F5 -
You would think there was nobody shyer
        F5            -              Ab5 -
But his voice has been heard on the roof
     Bb5          -           Ab5 -
When he was curled up by the fire

         Bb5            -             Ab5 -
And he's sometimes been heard by the fire
     C#5         -        F5 -
When he was about on the roof
    Bb5           -          F5 -
(At least we all heard that somebody purred)
         Eb5      -     C5
Which is incontestable proof

                C5
Of his singular magical powers
                   C5
And I've known the family to call
                C5
Him in from the garden for hours
             C5 -
When he was asleep in the hall


    C5
And not long ago this phenomenal cat
                                         C5
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat!


And we all say:

F5     -    C5      -       G5 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
  C5        -      F5     -   F5   -    Bb5 - Bb5 -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!

F5     -    C5      -       G5 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
  C5        -      F5     -   F5   -    Bb5 - D5
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!

Ladies and gentlemen
I give you the marvelous
Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Presto!
