Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer: Lyrics

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians Tight-rope walkers and acrobats 
They had an extensive reputation Made their home in Victoria Grove 
That was merely their center of operation For they were incurable given to rove 

If the area window was found ajar And the basement looked like a field of war 
If a tile or two came loose on the roof Which presently ceased to be waterproof 
If the drawers were pulled out from bedroom chests And you couldn't find one of your winter vests 
Or after supper one of the girls Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls 
Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat! 
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer?" And most of the time they left it at that 

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had an unusual gift of the gab 
They were highly efficient cat burglars As well and remarkably smart at a smash and grab 
They made their home in Victoria Grove They had no regular occupation 
They were plausible fellows who liked to engage A friendly policeman in conversation 

When the family assembled for Sunday dinner Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner on 
Argentine joint, potatoes and greens Then the cook would 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!"  Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat! 
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!" And most of the time they left it at that 

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had 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 
They'd go through the house like a hurricane And no sober person could take his oath 
Was it Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer? Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both? 

When you heard a dining room smash Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash 
Or down from the library came a loud ping From a vase which was 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!"
