_ _ [Gbm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The [Eb] Cavity's a mystery [F] cat, he's called [Gbm] the Hidden Paw,
[C] For he's [Eb] the master criminal, [F] who can defy the law.
[C] He's the battlement [Bb] of Scotland Yard, the [Ab] flying squad's despair,
[Eb] Once they reach the scene of crime, the Cavity's not there. _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Cm] It's McAvity, [Eb] McAvity, [F] there's no one like [Gb] [Cm] McAvity,
He's broken [Eb] every human law, [F] he breaks the law of [C] gravity,
His powers of [Eb] levitation, [F] would make a [Gb] fake hysteric,
[Cm] But when they [Gb] reach the scene of [G] crime, McAvity's not there.
[C] _ [Eb] McAvity's the ginger [F] cat, he's very [Gbm] tall and thin,
[Cm] You would know [Eb] him, if you saw him, [F] for his eyes are sunken in,
[C] His brow is deeply lined with [Cm] thought, his head is highly domed,
[F] His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed,
[Eb] He [Gb] sways his head from side to [Eb] side with movements [G] like a snake,
[A] And when you [F] think he's half asleep, he's always [G] wide awake.
[Cm] _ [Eb] McAvity, McAvity, [F] there's no one [D] like McAvity,
[Cm] For he's a fiend in feline shape, [F] a monster of [Cm] depravity,
You may meet him [Eb] in a by street, [F] you may see him in [Gb] a square,
[A] But when a [Am] crime's discovered, then [C] McAvity's not there.
[Gb] He's outwardly _ respectable, [Cm] _ [Eb]
I know, he cheats,
[Ab] _ _ _ And [Gb] his footprints are not [Gbm] found in [Cm] any files, or scores, or yards.
_ [Gbm] And [Gb] when the [C] lot is looted, and the [Eb] jewel [C] case is rifled,
Or when the [A] milk is missing, [F] or another pig's been [Cm] stifled,
Or the [Bb] greenhouse glass is [G] broken, [Bb] and the [Ab] trellis past repair,
[C] There's the wonder of the thing, McAvity's not [G] there.
_ _ _ [Cm] _ [Ebm] McAvity, [F] McAvity, there's no [Gb] one like [Cm] McAvity,
And ever [Eb] was a cat of [F] his [Gb] peopleness and [Cm] sons,
He [C] always had an [A] alibi, and one [Ab] or two to spare.
[Cm] Whatever time the deed took [D] place, McAvity wasn't [C] there,
And they say [A] they call [Cm] the cat, whose wicked deeds are [A] widely known,
I might mention, Mungo Jerry, [C] Rumpleteazer, Griddlebone,
And nothing [Bb] more than agents, [Am] who are the cat who [Ab] all the time,
[G] Just controls the [F] operations, the Napoleon of Crime.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Eb] McAvity, [F] McAvity, there's no one like [Cm] McAvity,
He's a [Ebm] fiend in flesh [F] and, a monster of gravity,
[Cm] You may meet [C] him in a bar [A] scene, you may see [Ab] him in a square,
[G] When the crimes discovered the, McAvity, _ _ [Ab] _ McAvity, _
[Db] McAvity, _ _ [G] McAvity, _ _
[Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [A] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[G] When the [D] crimes discovered the, _ McAvity's not [C] there.
