The Rum Tum Tugger Lyrics

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

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 abou-ou-ou-out it, no
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
As soon as I get home, then I like to get about
I like to lie in the bureau drawer
But I make such a fuss if I can′t get out, hoo

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
And there isn't any use for you to doubt it
For he will do as he do do
And there′s no doing anything abou-ou-ou-out it
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast

My disobliging ways is a matter of habit, yeah
If you offer me fish, then I always want a feast
When there isn't any fish, well, darling, I′m not having rabbit
If you offer me cream, then I sniff and sneer
For I only like what I find for myself, woo

The Rum Tum Tugger
Is artful and knowing
The 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, yeah

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle
Nah, nah, no more milk
Milk, woo

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, about, about it
