THE RUM TUM TUGGER

(The Rum Tum Tugger is) a curious cat If you offer me pheasant, I would 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 (The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat) And there isn't any call for me to shout it (For he will do as he do do) And there's no doing anything a-bow a-wow wow-t 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'm 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 use for you to doubt it (For he will do as he do do) And there's no doing anything a-bow a-wow wow-t 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 am not having rabbit If you offer me cream, then I sniff and sneer For I only like what I find for myself (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 Turn Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle) (“No, no, no more milk! Milk!”) (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 no doing anything about, about, about it!
