SONG: Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
ARTIST: Andrew Lloyd Webber

From the musical, Cats

Dm6Mungojerrie (xx0201@1)and Rumpelteazer
Dm6We're (xx0201@1)a notorious couple of cats
   C6As (03221x@1)knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians
G7Tight-rope (320001@1)walkers and acrobats
   Dm6We (xx0201@1)have an extensive reputation
   Dm6We (xx0201@1)make our home in Victoria Grove
        C6That (03221x@1)is merely our centre of operation
    A7 (x02020@1)                      Dm6For (xx0201@1)we are incurably given to rove

Dm6 -

A7 -  Dm6
We are very well known in Cornwall Gardens
   Dm6In (xx0201@1)Launceston Place and in Kensington Square
        C6We (03221x@1)have really a little more reputation
       A7Than (x02020@1)a couple of cats can very well bear

A7 (x02020@1)Dm6If (xx0201@1)the area window is found ajar
        Dm6And (xx0201@1)the basement looks like a field of war
     C6If (03221x@1)a tile or two comes loose on the roof,
      G7Which (320001@1)presently fails to be waterproof
       Dm6If (xx0201@1)the drawers are pulled out from the bedroom chest
        Dm6And (xx0201@1)you can't find one of your winter vests
   C6Or (03221x@1)after supper one of the girls
G7Suddenly (320001@1)misses her Woolworth pearls
    FThe (133211@1)family will say, "It's that horrible cat!
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?"
    A7And (x02020@1)most of the time they leave it at that

A7 (x02020@1)Dm6 (xx0201@1)                               Dm6Mungojerrie (xx0201@1)and Rumpelteazer have a very unusual gift of the gab
       C6We (03221x@1)are highly efficient cat burglars as well
      G7And (320001@1)remarkably smart at a smash and grab
   Dm6We (xx0201@1)make our home in Victoria Grove
   Dm6We (xx0201@1)have no regular occupation
       C6We (03221x@1)are plausible fellows, and like to engage
  A7A (x02020@1)friendly policeman in conversation

A7 (x02020@1)Dm6When (xx0201@1)the family assembles for Sunday dinner
           Dm6With (xx0201@1)their minds made up that they won't get thinner
   C6On (03221x@1)Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
        G7And (320001@1)the cook would appear from behind the scenes
    Dm6And (xx0201@1)say in a voice that is broken with sorrow,
      Dm6"I'm (xx0201@1)afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow!
        C6For (03221x@1)the joint has gone from the oven like that!"
    FThe (133211@1)family will say, "It's that horrible cat!
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?"
    A7And (x02020@1)most of the time they leave it at that

Ebm (xx4342@1)                               EbmMungojerrie (xx4342@1)and Rumpelteazer have a wonderful way of working together
    C#And (x43121@1)some of the time you would say it was luck
    Ab7And (xx1112@1)some of the time you would say it was weather
   Ebm6
We go through the house like a hurricane
       Ebm6And (x3121x@4)no sober person could take his oath
       C#Was (x43121@1)it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?
   Bb7Or (x13131@1)could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

Ebm6
And when you hear a dining room smash
   Ebm6
Or up from the pantry there comes a loud crash
   C#Or (x43121@1)down from the library there comes a loud ping
       AbFrom (xx1114@1)a vase that was commonly said to be Ming
         F#Then (244322@1)the family will say: "Now which is which cat?
It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer!"
            Bb7And (x13131@1)there's nothing at all to be done about that!
