SONG: Mr. Mistoffelees ARTIST: Andrew Lloyd Webber From the musical, Cats (Spoken) You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees The original Conjuring Cat
    C
The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mr. Mistoffelees's conjuring turn Presto! And we all say:
F     -    C/E      -       Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever

  C7        -      F     -   F/A   -    Bb - Bb/C -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!

F     -    C/E      -       Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever

  C7        -      F     -   F/A   -    Bb - Bb/C -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!

      F           -             Ab -
He is quiet, he is small, he is black

         Bb          -          F -
From his ears to the tip of his tail

       F            -            Ab -
He can creep through the tiniest crack

       Bb          -         Ab -
He can walk on the narrowest rail

       Bb         -         Ab -
He can pick any card from a pack

      Db          -        F -
He is equally cunning with dice

      Bb         -         F -
He is always decieving you into believing

          Eb        -      C7 
That he's only hunting for mice

                C7
He can play any trick with a cork

                 C7
Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste

                  C7
If you look for a knife or a fork

                 C7 -
And you think it is merely misplaced

         C
You have seen it one moment, and then it is gone!

                                                C7
But you find it next week lying out on the lawn!
And we all say:
F     -    C/E      -       Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever

  C7        -      F     -   F/A   -    Bb - Bb/C -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!

F     -    C/E      -       Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever

  C7        -      F     -   F/A   -    Bb - Bb/C -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!

    F         -         Ab -
His manner is vague and aloof

          Bb          -          F -
You would think there was nobody shyer

        F            -              Ab -
But his voice has been heard on the roof

     Bb          -           Ab -
When he was curled up by the fire

         Bb            -             Ab -
And he's sometimes been heard by the fire

     Db         -        F -
When he was about on the roof

    Bb           -          F -
(At least we all heard that somebody purred)

         Eb      -     C7
Which is incontestable proof

                C7
Of his singular magical powers

                   C7
And I've known the family to call

                C7
Him in from the garden for hours

             C7 -
When he was asleep in the hall

    C
And not long ago this phenomenal cat

                                         C7
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat!
And we all say:
F     -    C/E      -       Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever

  C7        -      F     -   F/A   -    Bb - Bb/C -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!

F     -    C/E      -       Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever

  C7        -      F     -   F/A   -    Bb - Dm
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!
Ladies and gentlemen I give you the marvelous Magical Mr. Mistoffelees! Presto!
