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!
