    Macavity Full Lyrics

    Uploaded by

    Jack Cunningham
    1) The song introduces Macavity, a mystery cat called the Hidden Paw who is a master criminal that can defy the law and evade Scotland Yard. 2) Bombalurina describes Macavity's physical appearance - he is a tall, thin ginger cat with sunken eyes and a highly domed head. 3) Together, Demeter and Bombalurina sing that when a crime occurs, the footprints found don't match Macavity's and he is never at the scene of the crime, though he may control other criminal cats.

    BOMBALURINA / DEMETER CALLBACK LYRICS - MACAVITY

    DEMETER
    Macavity's a mystery cat, he’s called the Hidden Paw
    For he's a master criminal who can defy the law
    He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair
    And when you 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 the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
    You may seek him in a basement, you may look up in the air...
    But I tell you once, and once again, Macavity's not there!

    BOMBALURINA
    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 in 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!

    DEMETER
    He's outwardly respectable
    BOMBALURINA
    I know he cheats at cards

    DEMETER
    And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's

    BOMBALURINA
    And when the larder's looted

    DEMETER
    Or the jewel cases rifled

    BOMBALURINA
    Or when the milk is missing

    BOTH
    Or another Peke's been stifled

    BOMBALURINA
    Or the greenhouse glass is broken

    DEMETER
    And the trellis past repair

    BOTH
    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
    Whatever time the deed took place, Macavity wasn't there!

    And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known

    DEMEMBER
    I might mention Mungojerrie
    BOMBALURINA
    I might mention Griddlebone

    BOTH
    Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
    Just controls the operations
    The Napoleon 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's not there!
