Mungojerrie And Rumpleteazer Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Dm6Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer

Dm6We're a notorious couple of cats

 As C6knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians

G7Tight-rope walkers and acrobats

 We Dm6have an extensive reputation

 We Dm6make our home in Victoria Grove

 That is C6merely our centre of operation

 For A7we are incurably given to Dm6rove

Dm6

A7We areDm6 very well known in Cornwall Gardens

 In Dm6Launceston Place and in Kensington Square

 We have C6really a little more reputation

 Than a A7couple of cats can very well bear

A7

 If the Dm6area window is found ajar

 And the Dm6basement looks like a field of war

 If a C6tile or two comes loose on the roof,

 Which G7presently fails to be waterproof

 If the Dm6drawers are pulled out from the bedroom chest

 And you Dm6can't find one of your winter vests

 Or C6after supper one of the girls

G7Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls

 The Ffamily will say, "It's that horrible cat!

Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?"

 And A7most of the time they leave it at that

D♯9 A7 D♯9 A7 D♯9

A7

Dm6Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a Dm6very unusual gift of the gab

 We are C6highly efficient cat burglars as well

 And reG7markably smart at a smash and grab

 We Dm6make our home in Victoria Grove

 We Dm6have no regular occupation

 We are C6plausible fellows, and like to engage

 A A7friendly policeman in conversation

A7

 When the Dm6family assembles for Sunday dinner

 With their Dm6minds made up that they won't get thinner

 On C6Argentine joint, potatoes and greens

 And the G7cook would appear from behind the scenes

 And Dm6say in a voice that is broken with sorrow,

 "I'm aDm6fraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow!

 For the C6joint has gone from the oven like that!"

 The Ffamily will say, "It's that horrible cat!

Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?"

 And A7most of the time they leave it at that

D♯mMungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a D♯mwonderful way of working together

 And C♯some of the time you would say it was luck

 And G♯7some of the time you would say it was weather

 We D♯m6go through the house like a hurricane

 And no D♯m6sober person could take his oath

 Was it C♯Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?

 Or A♯7could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

 And D♯m6when you hear a dining room smash

 Or D♯m6up from the pantry there comes a loud crash

 Or C♯down from the library there comes a loud ping

 From a G♯vase that was commonly said to be Ming

 Then the F♯family will say: "Now which is which cat?

It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer!"

 And there's A♯7nothing at all to be done about that!

D♯
