[00:00.99]Macavity: The Mystery Cat - Original Broadway Cast
[00:37.84]Macavity's a Mystery cat:
[00:40.69]He's called the Hiddenpaw
[00:43.31]For he's the master criminal who can defy the law
[00:48.80]He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard
[00:52.05]The Flying Squad's despair
[00:54.85]For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there
[01:11.97]Macavity Macavity there's no one like Macavity
[01:17.19]He's broken every human law
[01:19.97]He breaks the law of gravity
[01:22.49]His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
[01:28.13]And when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there
[01:33.41]You may seek him in the basement
[01:36.50]You may look up in the air
[01:44.20]But I tell you once and once again
[01:47.45]Macavity's not there
[01:50.40]Macavity's a ginger cat
[01:52.93]He's very tall and thin
[01:55.67]You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in
[02:01.20]His brow is deeply lined in thought
[02:04.21]His head is highly domed
[02:06.81]His coat is dusty from neglect
[02:09.56]His whiskers are uncombed
[02:12.39]He sways his head from side to side
[02:15.27]With movements like a snake
[02:17.77]And when you think he's half asleep
[02:20.64]He's always wide awake
[02:23.55]Macavity Macavity
[02:26.22]There's no one like Macavity
[02:29.16]He's a fiend in feline shape
[02:31.60]A monster of depravity
[02:34.26]You may meet him in a by - street
[02:36.97]You may see him in the square
[02:39.90]But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there
[02:45.57]He's outwardly respectable
[02:50.97]I know he cheats at cards
[02:55.96]And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
[03:07.54]And when the larder's looted or the jewel case is rifled
[03:13.05]Or when the milk is missing or another peke's been stifled
[03:18.47]Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair
[03:25.78]There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there
[03:33.65]Macavity Macavity
[03:36.29]There's no one like Macavity
[03:38.97]There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity
[03:44.64]He always has an alibi and one or two to spare
[03:50.08]Whatever time the deed took place Macavity wasn't there
[03:55.08]And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
[04:01.12](I might mention Mungojerrie Rumpelteazer Griddlebone)
[04:06.70]Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
[04:11.75]Just controls the operations
[04:14.68]The Napoleon of Crime
[04:23.42]Macavity Macavity there's no one like Macavity
[04:29.00]He's a fiend in feline shape
[04:31.45]A monster of depravity
[04:33.97]You may meet him in a by-street
[04:36.80]You may see him in the square
[04:40.34]But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's
[04:44.49]Macavity's Macavity's Macavity's
[04:59.62]But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there
