歌曲歌詞
The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mister Mistoffelees' Conjuring Turn
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
Were a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns quick change comedians
Tight rope walkers and acrobats
They had an extensive reputation
They made their home in Victoria Grove
That was merely their center of operation for
They were incurably given to rove
If the area window was found ajar
And the basement looked like a field of war
If a tile or two came loose on the roof
Which presently ceased to be waterproof
If the drawers were pulled out
From the bedroom chests
And you couldn't find one of your winter vests
Or after supper one of the girls suddenly
Missed her Woolworth pearls
Then the family would say
It's that horrible cat
It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer
And most of the time they left it at that
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
Had an unusual gift of the gab
They were highly efficient cat burglars as well
And remarkably smart at a smash and grab
They made their home in Victoria Grove
They had no regular occupation
They were plausible fellows
Who liked to engage a friendly
Policeman in conversation
When the family assembled for Sunday dinner
Their minds made up that
They wouldn't get thinner on
Argentine joint potatoes and greens
Then the cook would
Appear from behind the scenes
And say in a voice
That was 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 would say
"It's that horrible cat It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer "
And most of the time they left it at that
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
Had 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
They'd go through the house like a hurricane
And no sober person could take his oath
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer
Or could you have sworn
That it might have been both
And when you heard a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there came 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 would say
"Now which was which cat It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer And there's nothing at all to be done about that And there's nothing at all to be done about that"
