Old Deuteronomy: Lyrics

...I believe it is Old Deuteronomy ...

ALL: Well of all things can it be really No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! 
My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy 

MUNKUSTRAP: Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession 
He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme A long while before Queen Victoria's accession 

RUM TUM TUGGER Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives And more I am tempted to say ninety-nine 
And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives And the village is proud of him in his decline 

MUNKUSTRAP: At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall 
The oldest inhabitant croaks: 

TOGETHER: Well of all things can it be really No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! 
My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy 

ALL: Well of all things can it be really No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! 
My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy 
Well of all things can it be really No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! 
My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy 
Well of all things can it be really No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! 

OLD DUTERONOMY: My legs may be tottery, I must go slow And be careful of Old Deuteronomy
