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, then I’d rather have a house. If you set me on a mouse, then I’d only want a rat. If you set me on a rat, then I’d rather chase a mouse.

And there isn’t any need for me to shout it.
For he will do as he do do!
And there’s no doing anything about it!
The Rum Tum Tugger 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 get home, then I’d like to get about. I like to lie in a bureau drawer, But I’ll make such a fuss if I can’t get out.

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. If you offer me fish, then I always want a feast. When there isn’t any fish, then I won’t eat rabbit. If you offer me cream then I’ll sniff and sniff. For I only like what I find for myself...
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing (sometimes I think: "awfully annoying"!!!)!
The 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!

And there isn’t any need for you to spout it!
For he will do as he do do!
And there’s no doing anything abou-wowowowowo abou-wowowowowot it.
