in the F#square But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards And his footprints are not found in any files 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 Cmgreenhouse

And when the Foreign Office find a Treaty's gone astray Or the Admiralty lose some plans or drawings by the way And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say: "It must have been Macavity!" but he's a mile away!
You'll be Cmsure to
