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
