Macavity


Demeter
Macavity

Macavity's a mystery cat, he's called the hidden paw
For he's a 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!

Bombalurina
Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin
You'd know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in
His brow is deeply lined in 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
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!

Demeter
He's outwardly respectable.

Bombalurina
I know he cheats at cards

Demeter
And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's

Bombalurina
And when the larder's looted

Demeter
or the jewel case is rifled

Bombalurina
Or when the milk is missing

Demeter
or another peke's been stifled

Bombalurina
Or the greenhouse glass is broken

Demeter
and the trellis past repair

Demeter & Bombalurina
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's not there!

And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known

Demeter
I might mention Mungojerrie

Bombalurina
I might mention Griddlebone

Demeter & Bombalurina
Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
Just controls the operations: the Napoleon of crime!

Queens
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

Demeter & Bombalurina
MACAVITY'S NOT THERE!

Macavity returns, disguised as Old Deuteronomy, but he is revealed, and he battles with Munkustrap and the other male cats. Tired and almost defeated, Macavity rigs an electrical explosion that puts out all the lights, leaving the Jellicles in the dark

All
Macavity's not there!
We have to find Old Deuteronomy

The Rum Tum Tugger calls in "Mr. Mistoffelees," the original "conjuring cat" to use his magical powers to bring back their leader. Mistoffelees succeeds in getting back all of the lights, relocating Old Deuteronomy, and showing off his magic tricks, including his infamous "conjuring turn
