Chords with lyrics

SONG: Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
ARTIST: Andrew Lloyd Webber

From the musical, Cats


Dm6Dm6
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
Dm6Dm6
We're a notorious couple of cats
  C6C6
As knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians
G7G7
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats
  Dm6Dm6
We have an extensive reputation
  Dm6Dm6
We make our home in Victoria Grove
    C6C6
That is merely our centre of operation
  Dm6Dm6
For we are incurably given to rove

Dm6Dm6 -

Dm6Dm6
We are very well known in Cornwall Gardens
  Dm6Dm6
In Launceston Place and in Kensington Square
    C6C6
We have really a little more reputation
    A7A7
Than a couple of cats can very well bear

A7A7

    Dm6Dm6
If the area window is found ajar
    Dm6Dm6
And the basement looks like a field of war
   C6C6
If a tile or two comes loose on the roof,
   G7G7
Which presently fails to be waterproof
    Dm6Dm6
If the drawers are pulled out from the bedroom chest
    Dm6Dm6
And you can't find one of your winter vests
  C6C6
Or after supper one of the girls
G7G7
Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls
  FF
The family will say, "It's that horrible cat!
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?"
  A7A7
And most of the time they leave it at that

D#9D#9
A7A7

Dm6Dm6
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a very unusual gift of the gab
    C6C6
We are highly efficient cat burglars as well
   G7G7
And remarkably smart at a smash and grab
  Dm6Dm6
We make our home in Victoria Grove
  Dm6Dm6
We have no regular occupation
    C6C6
We are plausible fellows, and like to engage
 A7A7
A augmentedA friendly policeman in conversation

A7A7

     Dm6Dm6
When the family assembles for Sunday dinner
      Dm6Dm6
With their minds made up that they won't get thinner
  C6C6
On Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
    G7G7
And the cook would appear from behind the scenes
  Dm6Dm6
And say in a voice that is broken with sorrow,
   Dm6Dm6
"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow!
    C6C6
For the joint has gone from the oven like that!"
  FF
The family will say, "It's that horrible cat!
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?"
  A7A7
And most of the time they leave it at that


D#mD#m
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a wonderful way of working together
  C#C#
And some of the time you would say it was luck
  G#7G#7
And some of the time you would say it was weather
  D#m6D#m6
We go through the house like a hurricane
    D#m6D#m6
And no sober person could take his oath
    C#C#
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?
  F#7A#7
Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

  D#m6D#m6
And when you hear a dining room smash
  D#m6D#m6
Or up from the pantry there comes a loud crash
  C#C#
Or down from the library there comes a loud ping
    G#G#
From a vase that was commonly said to be Ming
     F#F#
Then the family will say: "Now which is which cat?
It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer!"
      F#7A#7
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!
