Macavity

Ha Ha Ha Ha
神秘笑声
Macavity's a mystery cat
莫卡维提神秘莫测
He's called the Hidden Paw
他被称为隐秘之爪
For he's a master criminal who can defy the law
他是蔑视法律的犯罪高手
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard
他令苏格兰场一头雾水
The Flying Squad's despair
机动小组也对他无可奈何
And when they reach the scene of crime
当他们赶到犯罪现场
Macavity's not there
莫卡维提早已消失
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
莫卡维提,独一无二的莫卡维提
He's broken every human law
他僭越所有法律法规
He breaks the law of gravity
甚至打破重力定律
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
他的轻功令骗徒瞠目结舌
And when you reach the scene of crime
但当你赶到犯罪现场
Macavity's not there
莫卡维提已不见踪影
You may seek him in the basement
你去地下室找他的踪迹
you may look up in the air
或者在空中追寻他
But I tell you once and once again
我一而再再而三地提醒你
Macavity's not there
莫卡维提早已消失
Macavity's a ginger cat
莫卡维提有着姜黄的皮毛
He's very tall and thin
他的身形又高又瘦
You would know him if you saw him
你见到他准能一眼认出来
For his eyes are sunken in
因为他的眼窝深陷
His brow is deeply lined in thought
他的双眉因深思而紧缩
His head is highly domed
他的头出奇地圆
His coat is dusty from neglect
皮毛因疏于打理而沾满灰尘
his whiskers are uncombed
他的胡须杂乱无章
He sways his head from side to side
他摇头晃脑的样子
With movements like a snake
像是一条毒蛇
And when you think he's half asleep
你以为他昏昏欲睡时
He's always wide awake
他其实一直保持警惕
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
莫卡维提,独一无二的莫卡维提
For he is a fiend in feline shape
他是披着猫皮的恶魔化身
A monster of depravity
绝望邪恶的怪物
You may meet him in a by-street
你可能在小巷遇见他
you may see him in the square
也可能在广场上看到他
But when a crime's discovered then
但当案情暴露时
Macavity's not there!
莫卡维提已不见踪影
He's outwardly respectable
他表面上端庄体面
I know he cheats at cards
但我知道他打牌作弊
And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
苏格兰场找不到他的任何踪迹
And when the larder's looted
当储食柜被洗劫一空
Or the jewel cases rifled
或者珠宝盒被一枪打破
Or when the milk is missing
当牛奶不翼而飞
Or another Peke's been stifled
或者又有一只哈巴狗被掐死
Or the greenhouse glass is broken
当温室玻璃碎了一地
And the trellis past repair
甚至篱笆棚架都彻底损坏
There's the wonder of the thing
这一切的蹊跷之处在于
Macavity's not there!
莫卡维提并不在案发现场
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
莫卡维提,独一无二的莫卡维提
There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity
从没有猫像他一样兼有欺诈和温顺
He always has an alibi and one or two to spare
他总是有各种各样的不在场证明
Whatever time the deed took place
不论什么时候出了乱子
Macavity wasn't there!
莫卡维提总是不见踪影
And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
要是提起臭名昭著的猫
I might mention Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, Griddlebone
例如蒙哥杰利、蓝贝蒂瑟、格里德波
Are nothing more than agents
其实都不过是小兵小将
For the cat who all the time just controls the operations
而操控这一切罪行的猫
The Napoleon of Crime!
好比犯罪界的拿破仑
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
莫卡维提,独一无二的莫卡维提
For he is a fiend in feline shape
他是披着猫皮的恶魔化身
A monster of depravity
绝望邪恶的怪物
You may meet him in a by-street
你可能在小巷遇见他
you may see him in the square
也可能在广场上看到他
But when a crime's discovered then
但当案情暴露时
Macavity's not there!
莫卡维提已不见踪影
