Rum Tum Tugger -

You ought to ask magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

The Original Conjuring Cat-

(There can be no doubt about that).

Please listen to me and don't scoff. All his

Inventions are off his own bat.

There's no such Cat in the metropolis;

He holds all the patent monopolies

For performing surprising illusions

And creating eccentric confusions.

The greatest magicians have something to learn

From Mr. Mistoffelees' Conjuring Turn.

And we all say: OH!

Well I never!

Was there ever

A Cat so clever

As Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

He's quiet and 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 the 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;

If you look for a knife or a fork

And you think that it's merely misplaced-

You have seen it one moment and then it is gawn!

But you'll find it next week laying out on the lawn.

And we all say: OH!

Well I never!

Was there ever

A Cat so clever

As Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Mr. Mistoffelees -

Presto!

All -

And we all say: OH!

Well I never!

Was there ever

A Cat so clever

As Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

And we all say: OH!

Well I never!

Was there ever

A Cat so clever

As Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Rum Tum Tugger -

His manner is vague and aloof,

And you would think there was nobody shyer-

But his voice has been heard on the roof

While he was curled up by the fire.

And he's sometimes been heard by the fire

When he was about on the roof-

(At least we all heard that somebody purred)

Which is incontestable proof

Of his singular magical powers:

And I've known the family to call

Him in from the garden for hours,

While 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!

Tugger -

All -

Tugger -

I give you the magical, the marvelous, Mr. Mistoffelees!
