To old Possum
Macavity
Macavity
There's nobody like Macavity -
Mr Eliot said that.
He didn' t know my cat.
Mine is the most
Rumbustious rampagious
Law-breaking outrageous
Combustious comtumacious
Cat.
The most cacophanous caterwauling
Back-chatterous stone-walling
Preposterous out-bawling
Cat.
And her name is Sirikit, formally;
But we'll call her Pussy,
Or Octopussy
Or Cattypus
Or Ediepus, Or Sillykit, normally.
She's never to be found either
At the scene of what's been done.
But when we've seen
What's been done
We know
Who done it -
Oh yes -
That punctilious
Supercilious
Don't-touch-me-I' m-thinking
I'll-stare-you-out-unblinking
Elegant
Hellcat
That permanent termagant
Siamese Sirikit
That' s who
Did it.
