Taylor Swift’s Macavity became quite popular soon after its release. Read full lyrics below.
Verse 1: Taylor Swift
- Macavity’s a mystery cat, he’s called the Hiddenpaw
- 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’s not there

Chorus: Taylor Swift
- 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
- But when they reach the scene of crime, Macavity’s not there
Verse 2: Taylor Swift
- 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
Chorus: Taylor Swift
- 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
Bridge: Taylor Swift
- 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 and 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
- There’s the wonder of the thing, Macavity’s not there
Chorus: Taylor Swift, Idris Elba & Both
- 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 to spare
- What ever time the deed took place, Macavity wasn’t there
- And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
- I might mention Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, Griddlebone
- Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
- Just controls the operations, the Napoleon of Crime
- Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity
- 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, Macavity
- Macavity, Macavity
Outro: Idris Elba, Taylor Swift
- When a crime’s discovered, then
- Macavity’s not there
