SONG: The Rum Tum Tugger
ARTIST: Andrew Lloyd Webber
From the musical, Cats
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
If you [A#9]offer me pheasant, I'd rather have grouse
[A#9]
If you [E]put me[-] in a [E7]house, I[-] would [E]much pre[-]fer a [E7]fla[-]t
If you [D]put me[-] in a [D7]flat, th[-]en I'd [D]rather h[-]ave a [D7]hou[-]se
If you [E]set me[-] on a [E7]mouse, then I only want a [E7]rat[-]
If you [Dm7/G]set me on a rat, then I'd rather chase a mouse[Dm7/G]
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
And there [A#9]isn't any call for me to shout it
For he [D]will do as he [A/E]do d[-]o
And [F#m]there[-]'s [A/E]no doing anything about it
The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore
[A#9]When you let me in, then I want to go out
I'm [E]always [-]on the [E7]wrong si[-]de of [E]eve[-]ry [E7]doo[-]r
And as [D]soon as [-]I'm at [D7]home, the[-]n I'd [D]like to[-] get a[D7]bou[-]t
I [E]like [-]to [E7]lie in the bureau [E7]dra[-]wer
But I [Dm7/G]make such a fuss if I can't get out[Dm7/G]
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
And it [A#9]isn't any use for you to doubt it
For he [D]will do as he [A/E]do d[-]o
And [F#m]there[-]'s [A/E]no doing anything about it
[Am] [-] [D7] [-] [Em]
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast
My [A#9]disobliging ways are a matter of habit
If you [E]offer[-] me [E7]fish, t[-]hen I [E]always w[-]ant a [E7]fea[-]st
When there [D]isn't[-] any [D7]fish, t[-]hen I [D]won't [-]eat [D7]rab[-]bit
If you [E]offer[-] me [E7]cream, th[-]en I [E]sniff[-] and [E7]sne[-]er
For I [D7]only like what I find for myself
So you'll catch me in it right [E7]up [-]to my ears
If you [Dm7/G]put it away on [-]the larder shelf[Dm7/G]
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing
The Rum Tum Tugger
Doesn't care for [A7]a cuddle
But I'll leap on your [E7]lap in the middle of your sewing
For there's [Dm7/G]nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle[Dm7/G]
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
And there [A#9]isn't any need for me to spout it
For he [D]will do as he do [A/E]do[--]
[F#m7]And the[-]re's [A/E]no doing anything
a[D7]bow, awow, about it!
[A]
