Magingery's a mystery cat
She's called the hidden tail
For she's not a master criminal
Who can't walk on a rail
She's the bafflement of the backyard
The flying birds despair
For when we reach the scene of crime
Magingery's probably there.
Magingery, Magingery, there's no cat like Magingery
She's not broken any human law
And don't know the laws of gravity
Her powers of not moving would a fakir bored
And when you reach the scene of crime
Magingery's is there.
You may seek her in a basement
But I don't think in the air
But I tell you once and once again
Magingery is there!
Magingery's ginger cat
She's not that tall but thin
You wouldn't know her if your saw her
Her eyes aren't sunken in
Her brow is never lined in thought
Her head is highly held
Her coat is shiny from shampoo
Her whiskers have been belled
She sways her head from side to side
With moments like a duck
And when you think she's half asleep
She usually always is
Magingery, Magingery there's someone like Magingery
For she's a devil in a disguise
A monster of no gravity
You won't meet in her in a by-street
You might meet her in a square
But when a crime's discovered then
Magingery is there!
She's outwardly respectable
I know she doesn't play cards
And her pawprints are found in every file of Scotland Yard
And when the lard is looted
Or the jewel case is rifled
Or when the milk is missing
Or another peke's stifled!
Or the greenhouse glass is cracked
And the trellis was repaired
There's the wonder of the thing –
Magingery is there!
Magingery, Magingery, there's someone like Magingery
There never was a cat of deceitfulness and strangeity
She never has an alibi and some food left to spare
And every time the deed took place,
Magingery was there!
And they say that all the cats whose house-hold deeds are widely know
I might mention Mungorosie*
I might mention Slivabella**
Are nothing more than enemies
For the cat who all the time
Just destroys their operations –
The Magingery of crime!
Magingery, Magingery, there's someone like Magingery
She's a fiend in feline shape
A monster of insanity
You won't meet her in a by-street
You might meet her in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Magingery
Magingery
Magingery
Magingery
When a crime's discovered then Magingery 's is there!
