Lyrics The Rum Tum Tugger - Andrew Lloyd Webber , Paul Nicholas , "Cats" 1981 Original London Cast
The
Rum
Tum
Tugger
is
a
curious
cat
If
you
offer
me
pheasant
I'd
rather
have
grouse
If
you
put
me
in
a
house
I
would
much
prefer
a
flat
If
you
put
me
in
a
flat
then
I'd
rather
have
a
house
If
you
set
me
on
a
mouse
then
I
only
want
a
rat
If
you
set
me
on
a
rat
then
I'd
rather
chase
a
mouse
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
abou-a-wow-t
it
The
Rum
Tum
Tugger
is
a
terrible
bore
When
you
let
me
in,
then
I
want
to
go
out
I'm
always
on
the
wrong
side
of
every
door
As
soon
as
I'm
at
home,
then
I'd
like
to
get
about
I
like
to
lie
in
the
bureau
drawer
But
I
make
such
a
fuss
if
I
can't
get
out
The
Rum
Tum
Tugger
is
a
curious
cat
And
there
isn't
any
use
for
you
to
doubt
it
For
he
will
do
as
he
do
do
And
there's
no
doing
anything
abou-a-wow-a-wow-t
it
The
Rum
Tum
Tugger
is
a
curious
beast
My
disobliging
ways
are
a
matter
of
habit
If
you
offer
me
fish
then
I
always
want
a
feast
When
there
isn't
any
fish
then
I
won't
eat
rabbit
If
you
offer
me
cream
then
I
sniff
and
sneer
For
I
only
like
what
I
find
for
myself
Mmm!
So
you'll
catch
me
in
it
right
up
to
my
ears
If
you
put
it
away
on
the
larder
shelf
The
Rum
Tum
Tugger
is
artful
and
knowing
The
Rum
Tum
Tugger
Doesn't
care
for
a
cuddle
But
I'll
leap
on
your
lap
in
the
middle
of
your
sewing
For
there's
nothing
I
enjoy
like
a
horrible
muddle
The
Rum
Tum
Tugger
is
a
curious
cat
The
Rum
Tum
Tugger
doesn't
care
for
a
cuddle
The
Rum
Tum
Tugger
is
a
curious
cat
And
there
isn't
any
need
for
me
to
spout
it
For
he
will
do
as
he
do
do
And
there's
no
doing
anything
abou-a-wow-a-wow-a-wow-a-wowt
it
