Rum Tum Tugger (From "Cats") - Musical Mania

The Rum Tum Tigger 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

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

The Rum Tum Tigger is a curious cat

And there isn't any need for me to shout it

For he will do as he do do

And there's nothing doing about it

The Rum Tum Tigger 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

And I make such a fuss if I can't get out

The Rum Tum Tigger is a curious cat

And there isn't any need for you to doubt it

For he will do as he do do

And there's no doing anything about it

The Rum Tum Tigger 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

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

The Rum Tum Tigger is artful and knowing

The Rum Tum Tigger

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

The Rum Tum Tigger is a curious cat

The Rum Tum Tigger doesn't care for a cuddle

The Rum Tum Tigger 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 about it
