Je score:
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!
