Rum Tum Tugger

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 nothing doing about it
