The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

If you offer me pheasant, I'd rather have grouse

A#9

       E     -     E7      -      E       -     E7 -
If you put me in a house, I would much prefer a flat
       D     -     D7      -      D       -     D7 -
If you put me in a flat, then I'd rather have a house
       E     -     E7                        E7 -
If you set me on a mouse, then I only want a rat
       Dm7/G                                          Dm7/G
If you set me on a rat, then I'd rather chase a mouse

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

          A#9
And there isn't any call for me to shout it

       D             A/E -
For he will do as he do do

    F#m  -  A/E
And there's no doing anything about it


The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore

A#9
When you let me in, then I want to go out

    E      -      E7      -     E  -  E7 -
I'm always on the wrong side of every door
       D       -      D7       -     D      -     D7 -
And as soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about
  E    -  E7                E7 -
I like to lie in the bureau drawer
      Dm7/G                              Dm7/G
But I make such a fuss if I can't get out

       A#9
And it isn't any use for you to doubt it

       D             A/E -
For he will do as he do do

    F#m  -  A/E
And there's no doing anything about it

Am - D7 - Em

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast

   A#9
My disobliging ways are a matter of habit

       E    -   E7     -     E       -     E7 -
If you offer me fish, then I always want a feast
           D    -    D7     -     D     -   D7 -
When there isn't any fish, then I won't eat rabbit
       E    -   E7       -    E    -    E7 -
If you offer me cream, then I sniff and sneer
      D7
For I only like what I find for myself

                               E7 -
So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears
       Dm7/G          -                Dm7/G
If you put it away on the larder shelf


The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing
The Rum Tum Tugger

                 A7
Doesn't care for a cuddle
                      E7 
But I'll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing
            Dm7/G                                  Dm7/G
For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

          A#9
And there isn't any need for me to spout it

       D                A/E --
For he will do as he do do

F#m7   -    A/E
And there's no doing anything
 D7
abow, awow, about it!

A
