[00:00.00]Sarah Brightman - Macavity: The Mystery Cat
[00:04.09]From the Opera "Cats"
[00:08.34]
[00:12.53]Macavity's a mystery cat, he's called the hidden paw
[00:18.16]For he's the master criminal who can defy the law
[00:23.71]He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair
[00:29.93]For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
[00:35.55]
[00:47.45]Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
[00:52.83]He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity
[00:58.79]His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
[01:09.91]But when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
[01:10.17]You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air
[01:15.93]But I tell you once and once again Macavity's not there!
[01:21.32]
[01:22.14]Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin
[01:27.56]You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunked in
[01:33.24]His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed
[01:39.07]His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed
[01:44.86]He sways his head from side to side with movements like a snake
[01:50.58]And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake
[01:55.58]
[01:56.78]Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
[02:02.09]For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
[02:08.04]You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square
[02:14.10]But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
[02:19.26]
[02:19.92]He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards
[02:30.47]And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
[02:43.03]And when the larder's looted or the jewel case is rifled
[02:48.61]Or when the milk is missing or another peke's been stifled
[02:54.20]Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair
[03:00.39]There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there!
[03:05.38]
[03:09.09]Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
[03:14.62]There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity
[03:20.67]He always has an alibi and one or two to spare
[03:26.62]What ever time the deed took place Macavity's not there!
[03:31.44]
[03:31.98]And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
[03:38.05]I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone
[03:44.12]Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
[03:49.74]Just controls the operations: the Napoleon of crime!
[03:56.03]
[03:58.56]Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
[04:04.56]He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
[04:09.94]You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square
[04:16.01]But when a crime's discovered then Macavity
[04:21.82]Macavity, Macavity, Macavity
[04:30.88]
[04:36.98]When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
[04:41.82]
[04:42.08]The End
