Mungojerrie And Rumpleteazer Chords & Lyrics - Andrew Lloyd Webber

[Dm6]Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
[Dm6]We're a notorious couple of cats
As [C6]knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians
[G7]Tight-rope walkers and acrobats
We [Dm6]have an extensive reputation
We [Dm6]make our home in Victoria Grove
That is [C6]merely our centre of operation
For [A7]we are incurably given to [Dm6]rove

[Dm6] -

[A7+] - [Dm6]
We are very well known in Cornwall Gardens
In [Dm6]Launceston Place and in Kensington Square
We have [C6]really a little more reputation
Than a [A7]couple of cats can very well bear

[A7]

If the [Dm6]area window is found ajar
And the [Dm6]basement looks like a field of war
If a [C6]tile or two comes loose on the roof,
Which [G7]presently fails to be waterproof
If the [Dm6]drawers are pulled out from the bedroom chest
And you [Dm6]can't find one of your winter vests
Or [C6]after supper one of the girls
[G7]Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls
The [F]family will say, "It's that horrible cat!
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?"
And [A7]most of the time they leave it at that

[D#9] - [A7] - [D#9] - [A7] - [D#9]
[A7]

[Dm6]Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a [Dm6]very unusual gift of the gab
We are [C6]highly efficient cat burglars as well
And re[G7]markably smart at a smash and grab
We [Dm6]make our home in Victoria Grove
We [Dm6]have no regular occupation
We are [C6]plausible fellows, and like to engage
A [A7]friendly policeman in conversation

[A7]

When the [Dm6]family assembles for Sunday dinner
With their [Dm6]minds made up that they won't get thinner
On [C6]Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
And the [G7]cook would appear from behind the scenes
And [Dm6]say in a voice that is broken with sorrow,
"[Dm6]I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow!
For the [C6]joint has gone from the oven like that!"
The [F]family will say, "It's that horrible cat!
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?"
And [A7]most of the time they leave it at that

[D#m]Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a [D#m]wonderful way of working together
And [C#]some of the time you would say it was luck
And [G#7]some of the time you would say it was weather
We [D#m6]go through the house like a hurricane
And no [D#m6]sober person could take his oath
Was it [C#]Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?
Or [A#7]could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

And [D#m6]when you hear a dining room smash
Or [D#m6]up 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#7]nothing at all to be done about that!

[D#]
