CHORUS: The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat
R.T. 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 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
CHORUS: The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat
R.T. TUGGER: And there isn't any call for me to shout it
CHORUS: For he will do as he do do
R.T. TUGGER: And there's no doing anything about it!
MISTOFFELEES: The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore
R.T. TUGGER: When you let me in, then I want to be 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 cant get out
CHORUS: The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat
R.T. TUGGER: And there isn't any use for you to doubt it
CHORUS: For he will do as he do do
R.T. TUGGER: And there's no doing anything about it!
BOMBALURINA: The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast
R.T. TUGGER: 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 sniff and sneer
For I only like what I find for myself
So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears
If you put it away on the larder shelf
CHORUS: The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle
R.T. TUGGER: But I'll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing
For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle
CHORUS: The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat
R.T. TUGGER: And there isn't any need for me to spout it
CHORUS: For he will do as he do do
R.T. TUGGER: And there's no doing anything about it!
