Mungojerrie And Rumpelteazer
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer we’re a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats
We have an extensive reputation
Make our home in Victoria Grove
This is merely our center of operation
For we’re incurably given to rove
We are very well-known in Cornwall Gardens
In Launceston Place, and in Kensington Square
We have really a little more reputation
Than a couple of cats can very well bear
If the area window is found ajar
And the basement looks like a field of war
If a tile or two comes loose on the roof
Which presently fails to be waterproof
If the drawers are pulled out from bedroom chests
And you can’t find one of your winter vests
Or after supper one of the girls
Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls
Tthe family will say, 'It's that horrible cat!
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!'
And most of the time they leave it at that
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer have a very unusual gift of gab
We’re highly efficient cat burgulars
As well and remarkably smart at a smash and grab
We make our home in Victoria Grove
We have no regular occupation
We’re plausible fellows who like to engage
A friendly policeman in conversation
When the family assembles for Sunday dinner
With their minds made up that they won’t get thinner on
Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
Then the cook will appear from behind the scenes
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!"
Tthe family will say, 'It's that horrible cat!
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!'
And most of the time they leave it at that
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer have a wonderful way
Of working together
And some of the time you would say it was luck
And some of the time you would say it was weather
We go through the house like a hurricane
And no sober person can take his oath
Was it Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer?
Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?
When you hear a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there comes a loud crash
Or down from the library there comes a loud ping
From a vase which is commonly said to be Ming
Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat?
It was Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!"
