Cats (de musical) - The Rumtum Tugger lyrics
Your rating:
The second cat we are introduced to is "The Rum Tum Tugger," a playful prankster that the female cats find extremely attractive. Tugger explains how fussy he can be: he wants what he doesn`t have, and doesn`t want what`s offered to him. The one thing that he does enjoy is being the center of attention, which he is throughout the number. ALL: The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat RUM TUM TUGGER: 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, I would 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 ALL: The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat RUM TUM TUGGER: And there isn`t any need for me to shout it ALL: For he will do as he did do RUM TUM TUGGER: And there`s nothing doing about it ALL: The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore RUM TUM TUGGER: When you let me in, then I want to go out I`m always on the wrong side of every door And as soon as I`m at home, then I`d like to get about I like to lie in the bureau drawer And I make such a fuss if I can`t get out ALL: The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat RUM TUM TUGGER: And there isn`t any need for you to doubt it ALL: For he will do as he did do RUM TUM TUGGER: And there`s no doing anything about it ALL: The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast RUM TUM TUGGER: My disobliging ways are a matter of habit If you offer me fish, then I always want a feast When there isn`t any fish, then I won`t eat rabbit If you offer me cream, then I sniff and sneer For I only like what I find for myself So you`ll catch me in it right up to my ears If you put it away on the larder shelf ALL: The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing The Rum Tum Tugger RUM TUM TUGGER: Doesn`t care for a cuddle But I`ll leap upon your lap in the middle of your sewing For there`s nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle ALL: The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat The Rum Tum Tugger doesn`t care for a cuddle The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat RUM TUM TUGGER: And there isn`t any need for me to spout it ALL: For he will do as he did do RUM TUM TUGGER: And there`s nothing doing about it!
