[ti:Macavity: The Mystery Cat] [ar:Sarah Brightman] [al:Surrender (Webber Songs)] [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
