Mungojerrie And Rumpleteazer - InstaHit Crew[00:00:00]
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer[00:00:11]
We're a notorious couple of cats[00:00:14]
As knockabout clowns quick-change comedians[00:00:16]
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats[00:00:19]
We have an extensive reputation[00:00:22]
We make our home in Victoria Grove[00:00:24]
This is merely our centre of operation[00:00:27]
For we are incurably given to rove[00:00:30]
We are very well known in Cornwall Gardens[00:00:37]
In Launceston Place and in Kensington Square[00:00:40]
We have really a little more reputation[00:00:43]
Than a couple of cats can very well bear[00:00:46]
If the area window is found ajar[00:00:53]
And the basement looks like a field of war[00:00:56]
If a tile or two comes loose on the roof[00:00:59]
(Which presently fails to be waterproof)[00:01:02]
If the drawers are pulled out from the bedroom chest[00:01:04]
And you can't find one of your winter vests[00:01:07]
If after supper one of the girls[00:01:10]
Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls[00:01:13]
The family will say "It's that horrible cat [00:01:15]
It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer "[00:01:21]
And most of the time they leave it at that[00:01:27]
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a very unusual gift of the gab[00:01:42]
We are highly efficient cat burglars as well[00:01:47]
And remarkably smart at a smash and grab[00:01:50]
We make our home in Victoria Grove[00:01:53]
We have no regular occupation[00:01:56]
We are plausible fellows who like to engage[00:01:58]
A friendly policeman in conversation[00:02:01]
When the family assembles for Sunday dinner[00:02:08]
With their minds made up that they won't get thinner[00:02:11]
On Argentine joint potatoes and greens[00:02:14]
And the cook will appear from behind the scenes[00:02:17]
And say in a voice that is broken with sorrow [00:02:20]
"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow [00:02:22]
For the joint has gone from the oven like that "[00:02:25]
The family will say "It's that horrible cat [00:02:28]
It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer "[00:02:33]
And most of the time they leave it at that[00:02:40]
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a wonderful way of working together[00:02:43]
And some of the time you would say it was luck[00:02:49]
And some of the time you would say it was weather[00:02:52]
We go through the house like a hurricane[00:02:54]
And no sober person could take his oath[00:02:57]
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer [00:03:00]
Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both [00:03:02]
And when you hear a dining room smash[00:03:05]
Or up from the pantry there comes a loud crash[00:03:08]
Or down from the library there comes a loud ping[00:03:11]
From a vase that was commonly said to be Ming[00:03:13]
The family will say: "Now which was which cat [00:03:16]
It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer "[00:03:22]
And there's nothing at all to be done about that[00:03:29]
