Paroles Mungojerrie and rumpelteazer Musical

Mungojerrie and rumpelteazer

Demeter
Macavity!

Mungojerrie
Mungojerrie

Rumpelteazer
And Rumpelteazer

Both
We're a notorious couple of cats

Rumpelteazer
As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians, tight-rope walkers and acrobats

Mungojerrie
We 'ave an extensive reputation. We make our 'ome in Victoria Grove
This is merely our center of operation

Both
For we are incurably given to rove

When the family assembles for Sunday dinner

Rumpelteazer
Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner on

Mungojerrie
Argentine joint

Rumpelteazer
Potatoes an' greens
Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes

Mungojerrie
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!"

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

Mungojerrie
Was it Mungojerrie?

Rumpelteazer
or Rumpelteazer?"

Both
And most of the time they leave it at that!

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer 'ave a wonderful way of working together
An' some of the time you would say it was luck an' some of the time you would say it was weather
We'd go through the 'ouse like a 'urricane

Mungojerrie
And no sober person

Both
Could take 'is oath

Mungojerrie
Was it Mungojerrie?

Rumpelteazer
Or Rumpelteazer?

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

An' when you 'ear a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
Or down from the library there came a loud ping
From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming

Then the family'll say: "Now which was which cat?

Mungojerrie
It was Mungojerrie

Rumpelteazer
And Rumpelteazer!

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

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

The entire tribe rejoins as their benevolent and wise leader Old Deuteronomy arrives. The cats adore and respect him
