[RUM TUM TUGGER, spoken] You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees, the original Conjuring Cat (sung) The greatest magicians have something to learn From Mr. Mistoffelees' Conjuring Turn! And we all say Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees He is quiet, he is small, he is black From the ears to the tip of his tail (Ooo-ooo) He can creep through the tiniest crack He can walk on the narrowest rail (Ooo-ooo) He can pick any card from the pack He is equally cunning with dice He is always deceiving you into believing That he's only hunting for mice He can play any trick with a cork Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste And if you look for a knife or a fork And you think it is merely misplaced You have seen it one moment and then it is gone You'll find it next week lying out on the lawn! And we all say... [COMPANY] Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees [MR. MISTOFFELEES] My manner is vague and aloof You would think there was nobody shyer But my voice has been heard on the roof When I was curled up by the fire And I've sometimes been heard by the fire When I was about on the roof At least they all heard that somebody purred Which is incontestable proof Of my singular magical powers And I've known the family to call Me in from the garden for hours When I was asleep in the hall [RUM TUM TUGGER] And not long ago this phenomenal cat Produced seven kittens right out of a hat! And we all say... Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees [COMPANY] Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees [RUM TUM TUGGER] And not long ago this phenomenal cat Produced seven kittens right out of a hat! And we all say... Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees [COMPANY] Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever? A cat so clever as Magical Mr. Mistoffelees [RUM TUM TUGGER] Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!
