Yes 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 about it!
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle; But he'll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing, For there's nothing he enjoys like a horrible muddle.
Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time; He's a Cat who has lived many lives in succession. He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme A long while before Queen Victoria's accession.
And we all say: OH! Well I never! Was there ever A Cat so clever As Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!
And he says: 'Now, these kittens, they do not get trained As we did in the days when Victoria reigned.
'Well, the Theatre's certainly not what it was. These modern productions are all very well, But there's nothing to equal, from what I hear tell, That moment of mystery When I made history As Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell.'
With Cats, some say, one rule is true: Don't speak till you are spoken to.
A Cat's entitled to expect These evidences of respect. And so in time you reach your aim, And finally call him by his NAME.
