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♯
