Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer
SOLO (spoken): Macavity!
MUNGOJERRIE: Mungojerrie
RUMPLETEAZER: And Rumpleteazer
BOTH: We're a notorious couple of cats As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians Tight-rope walkers and acrobats
RUMPLETEAZER: We have an extensive reputation
MUNGOJERRIE: We make our home in Victoria Grove
BOTH: That is merely our center of operation For we are incurably given to rove
RUMPLETEAZER: We are very well known in Cornwall Gardens
MUNGOJERRIE: In Launceston Place
RUMPLETEAZER: And in Kensington Square
BOTH: We have really a little more reputation Than a couple of cats can very well bear
RUMPLETEAZER: If the area window is found ajar
MUNGOJERRIE: Or the basement looks like a field of war If a tile or two comes loose on the roof
RUMPLETEAZER: Which presently fails to be waterproof
BOTH: If the drawers are pulled out from bedroom chests And you can't find one of your winter vests
RUMPLETEAZER: If after supper one of the girls Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls
BOTH: Then the family will say, 'It's that horrible cat!
MUNGOJERRIE: 'It was Mungojerrie
RUMPLETEAZER: 'Or Rumpleteazer!'
BOTH: And most of the time they leave it at that
BOTH: Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer have a very unusual gift of the gab
MUNGOJERRIE: We are highly efficient cat burglars as well
RUMPLETEAZER: And remarkably smart at the smash and grab We make our home in Victoria Grove
MUNGOJERRIE: We have no regular occupation Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
BOTH: We are plausible fellows who like to engage A friendly policeman in conversation
When the family assembles for Sunday dinner Their minds made up that they won't get thinner
MUNGOJERRIE: On Argentine joint,
RUMPLETEAZER: Potatoes and greens
BOTH: Then the cook will appear from behind the scenes
MUNGOJERRIE: And say in a voice that is broken with sorrow
RUMPLETEAZER: 'I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow For the joint has gone from the oven like that!'
BOTH: Then the family will say, 'It's that horrible cat!
MUNGOJERRIE: 'It was Mungojerrie
RUMPLETEAZER: 'Or Rumpleteazer!'
BOTH: And most of the time they leave it at that
BOTH: Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer have a wonderful way Of working together
RUMPLETEAZER: And some of the time you would say it was luck
MUNGOJERRIE: And some of the time you would say it was weather
BOTH: We go through the house like a hurricane And no sober person could take his oath
MUNGOJERRIE: Was it Mungojerrie?
RUMPLETEAZER: Or Rumpleteazer?
BOTH: Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?
MUNGOJERRIE: And when you hear a dining room smash
RUMPLETEAZER: Or up from the pantry there comes a loud crash
MUNGOJERRIE: Or down from the library there comes a loud ping
RUMPLETEAZER: From a vase that was commonly said to be Ming
BOTH: Then the family will say: 'Now which was which cat? It was Mungojerrie *AND* Rumpleteazer!'
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!
