Musicals - Cats: The Rum Tum Tugger Lyrics
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious catIf you offer me pheasant I'd rather have grouseIf you put me in a house I would much prefer a flatIf you put me in a flat then I'd rather have a houseIf you set me on a mouse then I only want a ratIf you set me on a rat then I'd rather chase a mouseThe Rum Tum Tugger is a curious catAnd there isn't any need for me to shout itFor he will do as he do doAnd there's no doing anything about itThe Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible boreWhen you let me in, then I want to go outI'm always on the wrong side of every doorAnd as soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get aboutI like to lie in the bureau drawerAnd I make such a fuss if I can't get outThe Rum Tum Tugger is a curious catAnd there isn't any need for you to doubt itFor he will do as he do doAnd there's no doing anything about itThe Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beastMy disobliging ways are a matter of habitIf you offer me fish then I always want a feastWhen there isn't any fish then I won't eat rabbitIf you offer me cream then I sniff and sneerFor I only like what I find for myselfSo you'll catch me in it right up to my earsIf you put it away on the larder shelfThe Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowingThe Rum Tum TuggerDoesn't care for a cuddleBut I'll leap upon your lap in the middle of your sewingFor there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddleThe Rum Tum Tugger is a curious catThe Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddleThe Rum Tum Tugger is a curious catAnd there isn't any need for me to spout itFor he will do as he do doAnd there's no doing anything about - t it!
