All:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
Rum Tum 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, 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
All:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
Rum Tum Tugger:
And there isn’t any need for me to shout it
All:
For he will do as he do do
Rum Tum Tugger:
And there’s no doin’ anything about it!
Mistoffelees:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore
Rum Tum Tugger:
When you let me in, then I wanna 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 a bureau drawer
But I make such a fuss if I can’t get out!
All:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
Rum Tum Tugger:
And there isn’t any use for you to doubt it
All:
For he will do as he do do
Rum Tum Tugger:
And there’s no doin’ anything about it!
Bombalurina:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast
Rum Tum Tugger:
My disobliging ways are a matter of habit
If you offer me fish, then I always want a feast
And when there isn’t any fish, then I won’t eat a rabbit
If you offer me cream, then I sniff and sneer
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…
Rum Tum Tugger:
…doesn’t care for a cuddle
But I’ll leap on your lap in the middle of your 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
Rum Tum Tugger:
And there isn’t any need for me to spout it
All:
For he will do as he do do
Rum Tum Tugger:
And there’s no doin’ anything abou—
Abou-ou-ou—
About-ou-ou-ou-ou…
Etcetera:
EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Rum Tum Tugger:
About it!
