Letra de Macavity: the mystery cat

Macavity´s a Mystery Cat: he´s called the Hidden Paw -
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,
And 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!

Mcavity´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 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. (They say he cheats at cards.)
And his footprints are not found in any file 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 -
Ay, 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 spaer:
At whatever 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, I might mention Griddlebone)
Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time
