Mungojerrie And Rumpelteazer Lyrics - Cats

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer 

We're a notorious couple of cats 

As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians 

Tight rope walkers and acrobats 

They had an extensive reputation 

They make our home in Victoria Grove 

That was merely their center of operation 

For they were incurably given to rove 

If the area window is found ajar 

And the basement looked like a field of war 

If a tile or two came loose on the roof 

Which presently seems to be waterproof

If the drawers were pulled out from the bedroom chests 

And you couldn't find one of your winter vests 

Or after supper one of the girls 

Suddenly missed her Woolworth pearls 

Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat 

It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer" 

And most of the time they left it at that 

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer 

Had an unusual gift of the gab 

They were highly efficient cat burglars as well 

And remarkably smart at a smash and grab 

They make our home in Victoria Grove 

They had no regular occupation 

They were plausible fellows who like to engage 

A friendly policeman in conversation

When the family assembles for Sunday dinner 

Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner 

On Argentine joint, potatoes and greens 

Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes 

And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow 

"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow 

The joint has gone from the oven like that" 

The family will say, "It's that horrible cat 

It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer" 

And most of the time they left it at that 

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer 

Have a wonderful way of working together 

And some of the time you would say it was luck 

And some of the time you would say it was weather 

They go through the house like a hurricane 

And no sober person could take his oath 

Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer? 

Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both? 

And when you heard a dining room smash 

Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash 

Or down from the library came a loud ping 

From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming 

Then the family would say, "Now which was which cat? 

It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer" 

And there's nothing at all could be done about that 

And there's nothing at all to be done about that
