The Rum Tum Tigger is a curious cat

If you offer me pheasant, I'd rather have grouse

If you put me in a house, I would much prefer a flat
If you put me in a flat, I would rather have a house
If you set me on a mouse, then I only want a rat

If you set me on a rat, then I'd rather chase a mouse

The Rum Tum Tigger is a curious cat

And there isn't any need for me to shout it
For he will do as he do do
And there's nothing doing about it


The Rum Tum Tigger is a terrible bore


When you let me in, then I want to go out
I'm always on the wrong side of every door
And as soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about

I like to lie in the bureau drawer
And I make such a fuss if I can't get out


The Rum Tum Tigger is a curious cat

And there isn't any need for you to doubt it

For he will do as he do do
And there's no doing anything about it


The Rum Tum Tigger is a curious beast

My disobliging ways are a matter of habit

If you offer me fish, then I always want a feast
When there isn't any fish, then I won't eat rabbit
If you offer me cream, then I sniff and sneer

For I only like what I find for myself
So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears
If you put it away on the larder shelf


The Rum Tum Tigger is artful and knowing
The Rum Tum Tigger


Doesn't care for a cuddle
But I'll leap upon your lap in the middle of your sewing

For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle

The Rum Tum Tigger is a curious cat

The Rum Tum Tigger doesn't care for a cuddle
The Rum Tum Tigger is a curious cat
And there isn't any need for me to spout it


For he will do as he do do


And there's nothing doing about it
