[COMPANY]
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
[RUM TUM 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
[COMPANY]
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
[RUM TUM TUGGER]
And there isn't any call for me to shout it
[COMPANY]
For he will do as he do do
[RUM TUM TUGGER]
And there's no doing anything abou-a-wow-t it
[MALE CATS]
The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore
[RUM TUM TUGGER]
When you let me in, then I want to go out
I'm always on the wrong side of every door
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 can't get out
[COMPANY]
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
[RUM TUM TUGGER]
And there isn't any use for you to doubt it
[COMPANY]
For he will do as he do do
[RUM TUM TUGGER]
And there's no doing anything abou-a-wow-a-wow-t it
[BOMBALURINA]
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast
[RUM TUM 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
Mmm!
So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears
If you put it away on the larder shelf
[COMPANY]
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing
The Rum Tum Tugger...
[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
[COMPANY]
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
[RUM TUM TUGGER]
And there isn't any need for me to spout it
[COMPANY]
For he will do as he do do
[RUM TUM TUGGER]
And there's no doing anything abou-a-bou-wow-a-bou-a-wow-a-wow-a-wow-a-wow-about it!
