Mr. Mistoffelees lyrics – Cats The Musical

You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees
The original Conjuring Cat
The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mr. Mistoffelees’s conjuring turn

Presto!

And you’ll all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

He is quiet and small
He is black
From the 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 a pack
He is equally cunning with dice
He is always decieving 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 it was merely misplaced

You have seen it one moment, and then it is gone!
But you find it next week lying out on the lawn!

And we all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

His manner is vague and aloof
You would think there was nobody shyer
But his voice has been heard on the roof
When 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 uncontestable proof

Of his singular magical powers
And I’ve known the family to call
Him in from the garden for hours
When 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! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Ladies and gentlemen
I give you the marvelous
Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Memory
Song by Elaine Paige

Memory
Turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up enter in
If you find there
The meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory
Live again
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn’t give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Sunlight through the trees in summer
Endless masquerading
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
The memory is fading
Touch me
It’s so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You’ll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day
Has begun

@shoelady60,

Good evening you are right her treatments are on Wednesday and she has six more Chemo
Treatments. The good news is she had two scans and no cancer has spread to other organs.

Prayer is a powerful thing. 💕

Hey wishing you and hubs a nice evening. We are watching our local media to see where
this TB is hitting which County. I am taking precautions. I mask up!

Here is to a great evening. 💕😎

@taci,

Good evening we have rain starting after midnight. I am alright with that the good part we
are not freezing hence the Ice. I am glad because my large backyard has a lot of snow
and ice. Shizzle! This will be gone with the amount of rain being forecast. 😎💕

Enjoy the rain and I am glad you are not having mud slides. California has seen enough
already!

Sending healthy vibes to your son. I am glad he did not come through Kansas. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good evening glad you are seeing your husband. So sorry for it being so cold. I never heard
you say how cold Florida gets. Glad they had a blanket for you.

SIL is doing well tonight she had two scans today and the cancer has not spread. This is
a fight she seems to be winning. The kids and my brother and our kids are all helping out. 💕

Oz has some big things going on this TB is no joke. I have my Joy Clean Boss and I am wiping
everything done. I have my masks that I wear to keep the flu at bay. 😎

I see things will change up here in the future. Whatever! 😎

Oodie enjoy your evening and keep warm.

@sheba2011

I am visiting a sleeping hubby. Brr, it is extreme!y cold. Feels like 20 degrees. No, I am not exaggerating. My fingers absolutely froze one into another. The aide brought me a blanket. To think I have a lap quilt in the car.

Well, I had back to back appointments since Monday. The tire light went on and a half hour appointment turned into 2 1/2 hours. Did an oil change. One tire turned into four. Battery taken out and cleaned. New battery not needed. They washed the exterior when done . car good as new. The next two were bank problems. Everything now is good.

Hope your SIL is ok from chemo. The tests are necessary to see if any of the cancer is getting smaller or starting to die out. Hopefully, there are no new lesions. Getting good news will certainly help her ongoing attitude and put some smiles on her face as well on everyone elses. It will be a long journey with many ups and downs.

Stopped at our Farmer’s Market. Went primarily for their homemade bread and pie. Ended up with veggies and fruit. Also picked up a small pkg. Of lobster cakes which are made on the premises. Has a good spicy kick to it. Your hubby would love it.

Have a great evening. Feel better and soon. Looks like TB is making the rounds. Your State is not alone in fighting this disease. Guess it is time for me to mask up again. So what else is new???!!!

Sheba, the rain wasn’t too bad here and seemed to be just at night. We aren’t in a mudslide area like Malibu. My yard is happy.
Sorry to hear tb is making rounds in Oz.
Went for a hike and it was cool and breezy.
Son is still sick but getting better.

@sheba2011

Hi in Oz. Glad you feel better. There are so many viruses and illnesses now that if you cough or sneeze, its like take a guess what you might have.🤧 I hope mom and sis are okay after being around all those people on the boat for 16 days.🙄

Weather a little nicer today, ran out and did some errands.🏃‍♀️ Making salads for dinner.

I think you said awhile back but I can’t remember, how many treatments is your SIL getting? I do remember that it is on Wednesdays. Still saying prayers.🙏

Have a nice evening, healthy hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California wishing you a safe and calm Wednesday Kitten just be safe. 💕

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😘😎🎈I love your post from yesterday LOL! 💕

Bless your heart I appreciate the support. Hey SIL has her Chemo Treatment today.
This is on my mind I dread it. We are staying hopeful.

I hope your mom and sister have a smooth flight home. I know they will be tired.

I love your sense of humor and I am sure your family will have stories to tell about
their Cruise. 💕🎈😎

Glad your husband is healing nicely from his procedure. 😎🎈

Hey we have TB in OZ and it’s not looking good. No worries I mask up and I do not get
in anyone’s space or face at this time.

Sending safe and warm hugs to you and Jake. 💕😎🎈

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈💕I hope the rain was a good and gentle rain.
Taci how is your son doing? I am sure he has tales to tell about his trip to Europe.

Hey the cupcake is just to make you LOL! 😎🎈💕

Happy and safe trails during your hike. Poppy and I had a good day today our weather
is perfect for walking. 😘😎
