Der Liedtext von 'Mr. Mistoffelees' aus dem Musical 'Cats' beschreibt die Fähigkeiten und Eigenschaften der Katze Mr. Mi...

You ought ask Mr. Mistoffelees ! The original conjuring cat.
The greatest magicians have something to learn, from Mr. Mistoffolees Conjuring Turns.

Presto !

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 his ears to the tip of his tail.
He can creep through the tiniest crack,
He can walk on the narrowest rail.
He can pick any card from a 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!
But you find it next week lying out on the lawn.

And we all say:
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?

My manner is vague and aloof.
You would think there was nobody shyer,
But voice has been heard on the roof
When I was curled up by the fire
And have sometimes been heard by the fire
When I was about on the roof.
At least they all heard that somebody purred
Which is uncontestable proof of my singular magical powers
And I've known the family to call me in from the garden for hours
When he was asleep in the hall.

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. Mistoffolees?
Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever a cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees?

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. Mistoffolees?
Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever a cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees?
Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever a cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees?
Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever a cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees?
Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever a cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees?
Oh! Well, I never! Was there ever a cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magical Mr. Mistoffolees!
