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
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 about 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 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
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat And it isn't any use for you to doubt it For he will do as he do do And there's no doing anything about 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 won't eat rabbit If you offer me cream then I sniff and sneer But 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
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle But I'll leap in 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 Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle
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 it!
