McCavity's a mystery [Eb] cat, he's called the Hidden Paw
Oh he's a master criminal, who can [G] defy the law
He's [Cm] the defilement [Bb] of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's [Ab] despair
[G] And when you reach the scene [A] of crime, [G] McCavity's not there
[C]
[G]
[Cm] McCavity, McCavity, [F] there's no one like
[C] McCavity
He's [Cm] broken every human [Ab] law, he breaks the law of [Cm] gravity
His powers of levitation would [F] make a fakir stare
And when you reach the [Am] scene of crime, [G] McCavity's not there
You [Eb] may see him [Gbm] in a basement, you may look up in the [B] air
But [G] I tell you once and once [E] again, [B] McCavity's not [G]
there
[Cm] McCavity's a ginger cat, he's very [Gbm] tall and thin
You would know him [Eb] if you saw him, for his eyes [Gb] are sunken [C] in
His brow is deeply lined in thought, his head is highly domed
[F] His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are one-poned
He [B] sways his [A] head from side to [B] side with movements like [A] a snake
[Gm] And when you think he's [F] half [G] asleep, he's always wide awake
[Cm]
McCavity, McCavity, [F] there's no one [D] like McCavity
[Cm] Oh, he's a fiend [Eb] in delight's shape, [F] a [D] monster of depravity
[C] You may meet [Eb] him in the by-street, [F] you may see him in [Gb] the square
But when a [Cm] crime's [Am]
discovered then, [G] McCavity's not there
[C] He's [Gbm] outwardly [Am] respectable, [Cm]
[C] he [Bm] cheats at [A] cards
And his prints [C] are not found in [Cm] any [B] files of Scotland Yard
[A] [B] And when the lard is [Eb] looted, [B] or the dual case is rifled
Or when the milk is [Ab] missing, or [A] another piece being stifled
Or [Cm] the greenhouse glass is [C] broken, [Eb] and the [Am] trellis past [Ab] repairs
[G] There's the wonder of the thing, McCavity's not there
[Cm]
McCavity, McCavity, [F] there's no one like [Cm]
McCavity
For just [F] a simple nest and swaddle, [Cm] he always has [Eb] an ally [F] and one of [B] respect
For every [C] time a deed took [A] place, [Eb] McCavity wasn't there
And they say that all the cat's whose wicked deeds are widely known
[Cm] Mention Mungo Jerry, [G]
he's a griddle-burn
[Cm] Nothing more than agents [A] for the cat who all the [Ab] time
Just controls the [G] operations, [Db] the Napoleon [A] of [G] crime
[Cm]
[F] No one like [C] McCavity, he's a [Eb] mean impiatic
For [D] long-haired frowners, he's [Cm] hidden in a vice
[Am] He may be seen in the [F] square
But when [G] a crime's discovered [A] then, McCavity's [C] not there
