Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer

We're a notorious couple of cats

As knockabout clowns

Quick-change comedians

Tight-rope walkers

And acrobats

We have an extensive reputation

We make our home

In Victoria Grove

This is merely our centre of operation

For we are 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

The bedroom chest

And you can't find one

Of your winter vests

If after supper one of the girls

Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls

The family will say

It's that horrible cat

It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer

And most of the time they leave it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer

Have a very unusual gift of the gab

We are highly efficient cat burglars

As well

And remarkably smart at a smash

And grab

We make our home in Victoria Grove

We have no regular occupation

We are 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

And the cook will appear

From behind the scenes

And say in a voice that is broken

With sorrow

I'm afraid you must wait

And have dinner tomorrow

For the joint has gone

From the oven like that

The family will say

It's that horrible cat

It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer

And most of the time

They leave it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer

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

Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer

Or could you have sworn

That it mightn't be both

And 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 that was commonly

Said to be Ming

The family will say:

Now which was which cat

It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer

And there's nothing

At all to be done about that
