Macavity slinks low, his nose kept to the ground

Catnip is always available whenever he's around

It cannot be legal

It cannot be right

That does not matter to Macavity tonight


His mission very simple, his night is neatly planned

You may think that he's doing something underhand

Before you can think once

His wicked plan is done

He's sown fear in the heart of the Jellicle gang for fun


Macavity so dark and sly, of the light he is shy

With a secret purpose he gently creeps on by

Silent as the night

And Ready to fight

With velvet paws he sneaks without having to try


When the job is done, into the night he goes

After giving the Jellicles a bucketful of woes

His work tonight is finished

His chosen task is done

He'll now wait for another night to do another one
