the cavity is a mystery cat he's called the hidden paw, for he's the master criminal who can defy the law. He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the flying squad's despair for when they reach the scene of crime. Macavity is 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 faker stare. And when you reach the scene of crime, Macavity is not there. You may seek him in the basement. You may look up in the air, but I tell you once and once again the cavity is not there. The cavity is 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 on combed. 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 biassed street. You may see him in the square, but when a crime's discovered, then Macavity is not there. He's outwardly respectable, they say cheated cards and his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard's. And when the largest looted or the jewel case is rifled, or when the milk is missing or another peaks been stifled or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair. Aye, there's the wonder of the thing. Macavity is not there. And when the Foreign Office find a treaty is gone astray or the Admiralty loosen 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. McKevitt is not there. And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say it. Most of been Macavity, but he's a mile away. You'll be sure to find him resting or licking at his thumb 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. He always has an alibi and one or two despair at Whatever time the deed took place, Macavity wasn't fair. And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known, I might mention Mongo, Jerry, I might mention Griddle Bone are nothing more than agents for the cat all the time. Just controls their operations the Napoleon of crime.
