[00:11.78]Macavity's a mystery cat he's called the Hidden Paw
[00:17.34]For he's a master criminal who can defy the law
[00:23.01]He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard the Flying Squad's despair
[00:29.24]For when they each the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
[00:36.37]
[00:46.46]Macavity Macavity there's no one like Macavity
[00:52.06]He's broken every human law he breaks the law of gravity
[00:58.04]His powers of invitation would make a fakir stare
[01:03.64]And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there
[01:09.33]You may seek him in the basement you may look up in the air
[01:15.00]But I tell you once and once again Macavity's not there!
[01:20.90]Macavity's a ginger cat he's very tall and thin
[01:26.75]You'd know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in
[01:32.46]His brow is deeply lined in thought his head is highly domed
[01:38.02]His coat is dusty from neglect his whiskers are uncombed
[01:43.97]He sways his head from side to side with movements like a snake
[01:49.88]And when you think he's half asleep he's always wide awake!
[01:55.50]Macavity Macavity there's no one like Macavity
[02:01.38]He's a fiend in feline shape a monster of depravity
[02:07.23]You may meet him in a by street you may see him in the square
[02:13.05]But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
[02:18.63]He's outwardly respectable I know he cheats sat cards
[02:30.00]And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
[02:42.15]And when the larder's looted or the jewel case is rifled
[02:47.51]Or when the milk is missing or another Peke's been stifled
[02:53.29]Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair
[02:59.14]There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there!
[03:07.93]Macavity Macavity there's no one like Macavity
[03:13.74]There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and ssuavity
[03:19.70]He always has an alibi and one or two to spare
[03:25.67]Whatever time the deeded took place Macavity wasn't there!
[03:31.05]And they way that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
[03:37.24]I might mention Mungojerrie I might mention Griddlehone
[03:43.12]Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
[03:48.67]Just controls the operations the Napoleon of crime!
[03:57.25]Macavity Macavity there's no one like Macavity
[04:03.55]He's a fiend in feline shape a monster of depravity
[04:09.02]You may meet him in a by street you may see him in the square
[04:14.91]But when a crime's discovered then Macavity
[04:18.08]Macavity…
[04:20.78]Macavity…
[04:23.56]Macavity…
[04:30.55]
[04:35.63]When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
