CATS - The Rum Tum Tugger lyrics
rate meThe second cat we are introduced to is "The Rum Tum Tugger," <br />
a playful prankster that the female cats find extremely attractive. <br />
Tugger explains how fussy he can be: he wants what he doesn't have, <br />
and doesn't want what's offered to him. The one thing that he does <br />
enjoy is being the center of attention, which he is throughout <br />
the number.<br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat <br />
<br />
RUM TUM TUGGER: <br />
If you offer me pheasant, I'd rather have grouse <br />
<br />
If you put me in a house, I would much prefer a flat <br />
If you put me in a flat, I would rather have a house <br />
If you set me on a mouse, then I only want a rat <br />
If you set me on a rat, then I'd rather chase a mouse <br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat <br />
<br />
RUM TUM TUGGER: <br />
And there isn't any need for me to shout it <br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
For he will do as he did do <br />
<br />
RUM TUM TUGGER: <br />
And there's nothing doing about it <br />
<br />
MESTOFFELEES: <br />
The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore <br />
<br />
RUM TUM TUGGER: <br />
When you let me in, then I want to go out <br />
<br />
I'm always on the wrong side of every door <br />
And as soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about <br />
I like to lie in the bureau drawer <br />
And I make such a fuss if I can't get out <br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat <br />
<br />
RUM TUM TUGGER: <br />
And there isn't any need for you to doubt it <br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
For he will do as he did do <br />
<br />
RUM TUM TUGGER: <br />
And there's no doing anything about it <br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast <br />
<br />
RUM TUM TUGGER: <br />
My disobliging ways are a matter of habit <br />
<br />
If you offer me fish, then I always want a feast <br />
When there isn't any fish, then I won't eat rabbit <br />
If you offer me cream, then I sniff and sneer <br />
For I only like what I find for myself <br />
<br />
So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears <br />
If you put it away on the larder shelf <br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing <br />
The Rum Tum Tugger <br />
<br />
RUM TUM TUGGER: <br />
Doesn't care for a cuddle <br />
But I'll leap upon your lap in the middle of your sewing <br />
For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle <br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat <br />
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle <br />
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat <br />
<br />
RUM TUM TUGGER: <br />
And there isn't any need for me to spout it <br />
<br />
ALL: <br />
For he will do as he did do <br />
<br />
RUM TUM TUGGER: <br />
And there's nothing doing about it!
