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 chests
And you can't find one of your winter vests
Or 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're 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
Then 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 for the joint has gone from the oven like that
Then the family will say It's that horrible cat
Was it 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'd go through the house like a hurricane
And no sober person can take his oath
Was it Mungojerrie
Or Rumpelteazer
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 there comes a loud ping
From a vase which is commonly said to be Ming
And the family would say
Now which was which cat
It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
And there's nothing at all to be done about that
