歌词
Macavity's a Mystery cat
麦克维蒂是一只神秘的猫
He's called the Hiddenpaw
我们叫他Hiddenpaw
For he's the master criminal who can defy the law
因为他是犯罪大师 世间所有法律他都敢违抗
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard the Flying Squad's despair
他让警察束手无策 他让特警队绝望（Scotland Yard是伦敦警察厅的代称）
For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there
因为就算他们寻踪而至 麦克维蒂早已不在犯罪现场
Macavity Macavity there's no one like Macavity
麦克维蒂 麦克维蒂 没有人可以与他相提并论
He's broken every human law he breaks the law of gravity
他能打破每一条法规 他也能飞檐走壁
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
当他飞入空中 每个人都向他行注目礼
But when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there
但当他们寻踪而至 麦克维蒂早已不在犯罪现场
Macavity's a ginger cat he's very tall and thin
麦克维蒂周身姜黄 高挑纤瘦
You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in
他的眼眶深深陷入了脸庞 只要一眼便能认出
His brow is deeply lined with thought his head is highly domed
他的眉总是皱起 把头高高仰起
His coat is dusty from neglect his whiskers are uncombed
他的外套布满灰尘 胡须凌乱
He sways his head from side to side with movements like a snake
他摇晃着头 行动宛如毒蛇
And when you think he's half asleep he's always wide awake
当你以为他已睡着 其实他正清醒
Macavity Macavity there's no one like Macavity
麦克维蒂 麦克维蒂 没有人可以与他相提并论
For he's a fiend in feline shape a monster of depravity
因为他是藏在猫咪身体里的恶魔 引诱人堕落
You may meet him in a by-street you may see him in the square
你可能会在任何地方与他不期而遇
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there
但一旦罪恶被揭发 他早已逃之夭夭
He's outwardly respectable I know he cheats at cards
外表上风度翩翩 却会在牌场上出千
And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
他的脚印 从未登记在警察局的任何文件上
And when the larder's looted and the jewel case is rifled
每当橱柜又被洗劫一空 金银珠宝不翼而飞
Or when the milk is missing or another peke's been stifled
又或是谁家的牛奶神秘消失 哈巴狗离奇死亡
Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair
温室的玻璃碎了满地 或是刚刚修过的篱笆
There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there
当每个人都在猜测他的行踪 他早已逃之夭夭
Macavity Macavity there's no one like Macavity
麦克维蒂 麦克维蒂 没有人可以与他相提并论
There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity
从未有猫像他一样优雅而善于欺诈
He always has an alibi and one or two to spare
他总有无数方法 来保证自己的清白
What ever time the deed took place Macavity wasn't there
他的不在场证明 一个个无懈可击
And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
如果要说那些大家都知道 天天小偷小摸的猫
I might mention Mungojerrie Rumpleteazer Griddlebone
我可能会说Mungojerrie Rumpleteazer Griddlebone
Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
但是谁也无法和这只猫相提并论
Just controls the operations the Napoleon of Crime
他就是犯罪皇帝拿破仑
Macavity Macavity there's no one like Macavity
麦克维蒂 麦克维蒂 没有人可以与他相提并论
He's a fiend in feline shape a monster of depravity
他是藏在猫咪身体里的恶魔 引诱人堕落
You may meet him in a by-street you may see him in the square
你可能会在任何地方与他不期而遇
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity Macavity
但一旦罪恶被揭发 他早已逃之夭夭
Macavity Macavity
麦克维蒂 麦克维蒂
When a crime's discovered then
每当罪恶被揭发
Macavity's not there
麦克维蒂早已逃之夭夭
