The Rum Tum Tugger Lyrics

CHORUS:

 The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

 

 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

 

 CHORUS:

 The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

 

 TUGGER:

 And there isn't any need for me to shout it

 

 CHORUS:

 For he will do as he do do

 

 TUGGER:

 And there's nothing doing about it

 

 SOLO:

 The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore

 

 

 TUGGER:

 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 at home, then I'd like to get about

 I like to lie in the bureau drawer

 And I make such a fuss if I can't get out

 

 CHORUS:

 The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

 

 TUGGER:

 And there isn't any need for you to doubt it

 

 CHORUS:

 For he will do as he do do

 

 TUGGER:

 And there's no doing anything about it

 

 SOLO:

 The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast

 

 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

 

 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!

 

 CHORUS:

 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

 

 TUGGER:

 And there isn't any need for me to spout it

 

 CHORUS:

 For he will do as he do do

 

 TUGGER:

 And there's no doing anything about it!
