Macavity, the Mystery Cat Lyrics – Humphrey Searle
Singer: Humphrey Searle
Title: Macavity, the Mystery Cat
Macavity’s a Mystery Cat: he’s called the Hidden Paw—
For he’s the master criminal who can defy the Law
For when they reach the scene of crime—Macavity’s not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity
He’s broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
And when you reach thе scene of crime—Macavity’s not thеre!
You may seek him in the bas#ment, you may look up in the air—
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity’s not there!
Macavity’s a ginger cat, he’s very tall and thin;
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed;
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he’s half asleep, he’s always wide awake
Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity
For he’s a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square—
But when a crime’s discovered, then Macavity’s not there!
He’s outwardly respectable. (They say he cheats at cards.)
And his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard’s
And when the larder’s looted, or the jewel-case is rifled
Or when the milk is missing, or another Peke’s been stifled
Or the greenhouse glass is broken, and the trellis past repair—
Ay, there’s the wonder of the thing! Macavity’s not there!
And when the Foreign Office find a Treaty’s gone astray
Or the Admiralty lose some plans and drawings by the way
There may be a scrap of paper in the hall or on the stair—
But it’s useless to investigate—Macavity’s not there!
‘It must have been Macavity!’—but he’s a mile away
You’ll be sure to find him resting, or a-licking of his thumbs;
Or engaged in doing complicated long division sums
Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity
There never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity
At whatever time the deed took place—MACAVITY WASN’T THERE!
And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time
Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!

Macavity, the Mystery Cat – Terjemahan / Translation
Macavity adalah kucing misterius: dia disebut The Hidden Paw—
Karena dia adalah penjahat utama yang bisa menentang hukum
Karena ketika mereka mencapai tempat kejadian – Macavity tidak ada di sana!
Macavity, macavity, tidak ada orang seperti macavity
Dia melanggar setiap hukum manusia, dia melanggar hukum gravitasi
Kekuatan levitrasinya akan membuat fakir menatap
Dan ketika Anda mencapai adegan kejahatan – Macavity tidak ada!
Anda dapat mencarinya di ruang bawah tanah, Anda mungkin melihat ke udara—
Tapi saya katakan sekali lagi, Macavity tidak ada di sana!
Macavity adalah kucing jahe, dia sangat tinggi dan kurus;
Anda akan mengenalnya jika Anda melihatnya, karena matanya cekung
Alisnya sangat dipikirkan, kepalanya sangat berkubah;
Mantelnya berdebu dari pengabaian, kumisnya tidak terikat
Dia mengayunkan kepalanya dari sisi ke sisi, dengan gerakan seperti ular;
Dan ketika Anda berpikir dia setengah tertidur, dia selalu bangun
Macavity, macavity, tidak ada orang seperti macavity
Karena dia adalah iblis dalam bentuk kucing, monster kebobrokan
Anda mungkin bertemu dengannya di jalan by, Anda mungkin melihatnya di alun-alun—
Tetapi ketika suatu kejahatan ditemukan, maka Macavity tidak ada di sana!
Dia sangat terhormat. (Mereka bilang dia menipu di kartu.)
Dan jejak kakinya tidak ditemukan dalam file apa pun di Scotland Yard
Dan ketika Larder dijarah, atau kasus-kasus permata diputar
Atau saat susu hilang, atau peke lainnya tertahan
Atau kaca rumah kaca pecah, dan perbaikan terali sebelumnya—
Ay, ada keajaiban hal itu! Macavity tidak ada di sana!
Dan ketika Kantor Luar Negeri menemukan perjanjian tersesat
Atau Admiralty kehilangan beberapa rencana dan gambar
Mungkin ada secarik kertas di aula atau di tangga—
Tapi tidak ada gunanya menyelidiki – Macavity tidak ada!
‘Itu pasti macavity!’ – tapi dia satu mil jauhnya
Anda pasti akan menemukannya beristirahat, atau menghubungkan ibu jarinya;
Atau terlibat dalam melakukan jumlah divisi panjang yang rumit
Macavity, macavity, tidak ada orang seperti macavity
Tidak pernah ada kucing yang memiliki tipu daya dan sikap sopan seperti itu
Setiap saat perbuatan itu terjadi – kebangkitan tidak ada di sana!
Dan mereka mengatakan bahwa semua kucing yang perbuatan jahatnya diketahui secara luas
Tidak lebih dari agen kucing yang sepanjang waktu
Hanya mengendalikan operasi mereka: Napoleon of Crime!
