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
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
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 sunked 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, 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
Or the
greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair
There's the wonder of the thing
Macavity's not there!
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
What ever time the deed took place Macavity's not 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 the operations: the Napolean of crime!
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
Macavity, Macavity, Macavity
When a crime's discovered then
Macavity's not there | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
