Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer
Macavity!
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer,
We’re a notorious couple of cats,
As knock about clowns and quick change comedians,
Tightrope 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 roam.
When the family assembles for Sunday dinner,
Their minds made up that they won’t get thinner,
On Argentine joints, potatoes and greens,
Then the cook would 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,
The joint has gone from the oven like that!”
Then the family will say “It’s that horrible cat!
It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!”
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,
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer,
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 came a loud ping!
From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming.
Then the family will say,
“Now which was which cat?”
It was Mungojerrie! And Rumpleteazer!
And there’s nothing at all to be done about that!
And there’s nothing at all to be done about that!
