The Rum Tum Tugger
All:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
Tugger:
If you offer me pheasant, I'd rather have grouse
If you put me in a house I would much prefer a flat
If you put me in a flat then I'd rather have a house
If you set me on a mouse then I only want a rat
If you set me on a rat then I'd rather chase a mouse
All:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
Tugger:
And there isn't any call for me to shout it
All:
For he will do as he did do
Tugger:
And there's no doing anything about it
Misto:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore
Tugger:
For when you let me in then I wann go out
I'm always on the wrong side of every door
And as soon as I get home then I like to get about
I like to lie in a bureau drawer
But I make such a fuss if I can't get out
All:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
Tugger:
And there isn't any use for you to doubt it
All:
For he will do as he did do
Tugger:
And there's no doing anyhing about it
Bomby:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast
Tugger:
My disobliging ways are a matter of habit
Now if you offer me fish then I always want a feast
And if there isn't any fish then I won't eat rabbit
If you offer me cream
Then I sniff and snear
For I only like what I find for myself? ...No
So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears
If you put it away on the larder shelf
All:
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle
Tugger:
So I'll leap on your lap in the middle of you sewing
For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle
All:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
Tugger:
And there isn't any need for me to spout it
All:
For he will do as he did do
Tugger:
And there's no doing anything about it
