Andrew Lloyd Webber - Mungojerrie And Rumpleteazer Chords & Tabs

SONG: Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
ARTIST: Andrew Lloyd Webber

From the musical, Cats


Dm6
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
Dm6
We're a notorious couple of cats
   C6
As knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians
G7
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats
   Dm6
We have an extensive reputation
   Dm6
We make our home in Victoria Grove
        C6
That is merely our centre of operation
    A7                        Dm6
For we are incurably given to rove

Dm6 -

A7+ -  Dm6
We are very well known in Cornwall Gardens
   Dm6
In Launceston Place and in Kensington Square
        C6
We have really a little more reputation
       A7
Than a couple of cats can very well bear

A7

       Dm6
If the area window is found ajar
        Dm6
And the basement looks like a field of war
     C6
If a tile or two comes loose on the roof,
      G7
Which presently fails to be waterproof
       Dm6
If the drawers are pulled out from the bedroom chest
        Dm6
And you can't find one of your winter vests
   C6
Or after supper one of the girls
G7
Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls
    F
The family will say, "It's that horrible cat!
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?"
    A7
And most of the time they leave it at that

D#9 - A7 - D#9 - A7 - D#9

Dm6                                 Dm6
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a very unusual gift of the gab
       C6
We are highly efficient cat burglars as well
      G7
And remarkably smart at a smash and grab
   Dm6
We make our home in Victoria Grove
   Dm6
We have no regular occupation
       C6
We are plausible fellows, and like to engage
  A7
A friendly policeman in conversation

A7

         Dm6
When the family assembles for Sunday dinner
           Dm6
With their minds made up that they won't get thinner
   C6
On Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
        G7
And the cook would appear from behind the scenes
    Dm6
And say in a voice that is broken with sorrow,
      Dm6
"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow!
        C6
For the joint has gone from the oven like that!"
    F
The family will say, "It's that horrible cat!
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?"
    A7
And most of the time they leave it at that


D#m                                 D#m
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a wonderful way of working together
    C#
And some of the time you would say it was luck
    G#7
And some of the time you would say it was weather
   D#m6
We go through the house like a hurricane
       D#m6
And no sober person could take his oath
       C#
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?
   A#7
Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

    D#m6
And when you hear a dining room smash
   D#m6
Or up from the pantry there comes a loud crash
   C#
Or down from the library there comes a loud ping
       G#
From a vase that was commonly said to be Ming
         F#
Then the family will say: "Now which is which cat?
It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer!"
            A#7
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!

D#
