CATS - 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 did, do And there's no doing anything about it The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore Oh, 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 And I make such a fuss if I can't get out The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat And there isn't any need for you to doubt it For he will do as he did, 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 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 Tugger is artful and knowing The Rum Tum Tugger, 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 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 doin' anything about, about, about, about it
