[00:00.16]original cast - Mungojerrie And Rumpelteazer
[00:32.41]Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
[00:34.85]We're a notorious couple of cats
[00:37.41]As knockabout clowns quick-change comedians
[00:40.34]Tight-rope walkers and acrobats
[00:42.90]We have an extensive reputation
[00:45.83]We make our home in Victoria Grove
[00:48.45]This is merely our centre of operation
[00:51.32]For we are incurably given to rove
[00:58.33]We are very well known in Cornwall Gardens
[01:01.70]In Launceston Place and in Kensington Square
[01:04.38]We have really a little more reputation
[01:07.13]Than a couple of cats can very well bear
[01:14.49]If the area window is found ajar
[01:17.36]And the basement looks like a field of war
[01:20.23]If a tile or two comes loose on the roof
[01:22.85](Which presently fails to be waterproof)
[01:25.35]If the drawers are pulled out from the bedroom chest
[01:28.66]And you can't find one of your winter vests
[01:31.09]If after supper one of the girls
[01:34.02]Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls
[01:36.96]The family will say "It's that horrible cat
[01:42.26]It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer "
[01:49.24]And most of the time they leave it at that
[02:02.86]Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a very unusual gift of the gab
[02:07.78]We are highly efficient cat burglars as well
[02:10.28]And remarkably smart at a smash and grab
[02:12.90]We make our home in Victoria Grove
[02:15.64]We have no regular occupation
[02:18.45]We are plausible fellows who like to engage
[02:21.01]A friendly policeman in conversation
[02:28.43]When the family assembles for Sunday dinner
[02:31.32]With their minds made up that they won't get thinner
[02:33.76]On Argentine joint potatoes and greens
[02:36.40]And the cook will appear from behind the scenes
[02:39.20]And say in a voice that is broken with sorrow
[02:41.33]"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow
[02:44.57]For the joint has gone from the oven like that "
[02:47.25]The family will say "It's that horrible cat
[02:52.61]It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer "
[02:59.60]And most of the time they leave it at that
[03:02.23]Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a wonderful way of working together
[03:07.22]And some of the time you would say it was luck
[03:09.84]And some of the time you would say it was weather
[03:12.33]We go through the house like a hurricane
[03:14.84]And no sober person could take his oath
[03:17.45]Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer
[03:20.14]Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both
[03:22.63]And when you hear a dining room smash
[03:25.31]Or up from the pantry there comes a loud crash
[03:27.99]Or down from the library there comes a loud ping
[03:30.43]From a vase that was commonly said to be Ming
[03:33.05]The family will say: "Now which was which cat
[03:37.54]It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer "
[03:44.87]And there's nothing at all to be done about that
