Mr. Mistoffelees

[Primera Parte]

A
The greatest magicians
A7
Have something to learn
       Em             G             A
From Mr Mistoffelees' Conjuring Turn

[Estribillo 1]

And we all say
D        A
Oh, well, I never!
    G            A7               D        A     G
Was there ever a cat so clever as Magical Mr Mistoffelees?

[Segunda Parte]

      D                         Dm
He is quiet, he is small, he is black
        G                      Dm
From his ears to the tip of his tail
      Dm
He can creep through the tiniest crack
      G                  Dm
He can walk on the narrowest rail
      G                  Dm
He can pick any card from a pack
Dm                    D
He is equally cunning with dice
      G                 D
He is always deceiving you into believing
          Am               A7
That he's only hunting for mice
      Am
He can play any trick with a cork
      A7
Or a spoon, and a bit of fish paste
        Am
If you look for a knife or a fork
             A7
And you think it is merely misplaced
      A
You've seen it one moment
      A7
But, then, it is gone
         Em
You'll find it next week
      G              A
Lying out on the lawn

[Estribillo 2]

And we all say!

D        A
Oh, well, I never!
    G            A7               D        A     G
Was there ever a cat so clever as Magical Mr Mistoffelees? (PRESTO!)
D        A
Oh, well, I never!
    G            A7               D        A     G
Was there ever a cat so clever as Magical Mr Mistoffelees?

[Tercera Parte]

    D                Dm
His manner is vague and aloof
           G                    Dm
And you would think there was nobody shyer
         Dm
But his voice has been heard on the roof
        G                  Dm
While he was curled up by the fire
        G                      Dm
And he's sometimes been heard by the fire
                      Dm
While he was about on the roof
    G                        Dm
At least they all heard that somebody purred
        C            A
Which is incontestable proof
           A7
And all of his singular magical powers
         A             A7
And I've known the family to call
    A                   A7
Him in from the garden for hours
      A           A7
When he was asleep in the hall
        A             A7
And not long ago, this phenomenal cat
Em
Produced seven kittens
      G           A
Right out of a hat

[Estribillo Final]

And we all say

D        A
Oh, well, I never!

Oh, well, I never!

Was there ever a cat so clever as Magical Mr Mistoffelees?
(Magical, mystical)

D        A
Oh, well, I never!
    G            A7               D        A     G
Was there ever a cat so clever as Magical Mr Mistoffelees?
