Mungojerrie: MUNGOJERRIE
Rumpleteazer: AND RUMPLETEAZER
Both: WE'RE A NOTORIOUS COUPLE OF CATS
Rumpleteazer: AS KNOCKABOUT CLOWNS, QUICK-CHANGE COMEDIANS
TIGHT-ROPE WALKERS AND ACROBATS
Mungojerrie: WE HAVE AN EXTENSIVE REPUTATION
WE MAKE OUR HOME IN VICTORIA GROVE
THIS IS MERELY OUR CENTER OF OPERATION, FOR
Both: WE ARE INCURABLY GIVEN TO ROVE
WHEN THE FAMILY ASSEMBLES FOR SUNDAY DINNER
WITH THEIR MINDS MADE UP THAT THEY WON'T GET THINNER
Mungojerrie: ON ARGENTINE JOINT
Rumpleteazer: POTATOES AND GREENS
THEN THE COOK WOULD APPEAR FROM BEHIND THE SCENES
Mungojerrie: 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
Both: THEN THE FAMILY WILL SAY, "IT'S THAT HORRIBLE CAT!
Mungojerrie: WAS IT MUNGOJERRIE?
Rumpleteazer: OR RUMPLETEAZER?"
Both: 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 COULD TAKE HIS OATH
Mungojerrie: WAS IT MUNGOJERRIE
Rumpleteazer: OR RUMPLETEAZER?
Both: OR COULD YOU HAVE SWORN THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BOTH
AND WHEN YOU HEAR A DINING ROOM SMASH!
OR UP FROM THE PANTRY, THERE COMES A LOUD CRASH!
OR DOWN FROM THE LIBRARY, CAME A LOUD PING
FROM A VASE THAT WAS COMMONLY SAID TO BE MING
Mungojerrie: IT WAS MUNGOJERRIE
Rumpleteazer: AND RUMPLETEAZER
Both: AND THERE'S NOTHING AT ALL TO BE DONE ABOUT THAT!
