OLD DEUTERONOMY


Mistoffelees:
Old Deuteronomy?

Coricopat and Tantomile:
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

All:
Well, of all things, can it be really
Yes. No. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering, but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Munkustrap:
Old Deuteronomy’s lived a long time
He’s a cat who has lived many lives in succession
He was famous in proverb, and famous in rhyme
A long while before Queen Victoria’s accession

Rum Tum Tugger:
Old Deuteronomy’s buried nine wives
And more, I am tempted to say ninety-nine
And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives
And the village is proud of him in his decline

Munkustrap:
At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy
When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall
The oldest inhabitant croaks…

Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger:
Well, of all things, can it be really
Yes. No. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering, but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy!

All:
Well, of all things, can it be really
Yes. No. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering, but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Well, of all things, can it be really
Yes. No. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering, but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Well, of all things, can it be really
Yes. No. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye!

Deuteronomy:
My legs may be tottery, I must go slow
And be careful of Old Deuteronomy
