The Rum Tum Tugger - From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats"

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
