Macavity's a mystery cat
He's called the hidden paw
For He's the master criminal
He's the bafflement of Scotland yard
The flying squads 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 levatation would make a fakir stare
And When you reach the scene of crime
Macavity's Not There!
You May seek up in the basement
You may look up in the air
But I tell you once and once again
Macavity's not there
Macavity's a ginger cat he is 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 crimes discovered
Then!
Macavity's Not there!
