Macavity(From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats")

歌詞

Macavity's a mystery cat, he's called the Hiddenpaw 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 But when they reach the scene of crime, Macavity's not there Macavity'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, I know, he cheats at cards And his footprints are not found in a-any files of Scotland Yard's And when the larder's looted and 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 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 spare What ever 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, Rumpleteazer, Griddlebone Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time Just controls the operations, the Napoleon of Crime Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity 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, Macavity Macavity, Macavity When a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there
