The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat.
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, I would 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.
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat.
And there isn't any need for me to shout it.
For he will do as he do do
And there's nothing doing about it!
The Rum Tum Tigger is a terrible bore.
When you let me in, then I want to go out.
I'm always on the wrong side of every door.
And as soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about.
I like to lie in the bureau drawer,
But I make such a fuss if I can't get out.
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat.
And there isn't any need for you to doubt it.
For he will do as he do do.
And there's no doing anything about it!
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast.
My disobliging ways are a matter of habit.
When there isn't any fish, then I won't eat rabbit.
If you offer me cream, then I sniff and sniff.
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.
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing.
The Rum Tum Tugger . . .
Doesn't care for a cuddle
But I'll leap upon your lap in the middle of your sewing
For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle!
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.
And there isn't any need for me to spout it.
For he will do as he do do
And there's nothing doing about it!
