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
About, about, about it
