| CATS Miscellaneous Mungojerrie And Rumpleteazer Suddenly there is a thunderous crash, followed by the sound of police sirens and flashing red lights. The villainous cat Macavity is on the loose! The cats scatter, leaving an empty stage. Two off-stage giggles signal the entrance of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, a fun-loving, frolicking team of pranksters, always getting in trouble with the family with whom they live. SOLO: The greatest magicians have something to learn From Mr. Mistoffolees conjuring turn Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were a notorious couple of cats As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians Tight-rope walkers and acrobats They had an extensive reputation Made their home in Victoria Grove That was merely their center of operation For they were incurable given to rove If the area window was found ajar And the basement looked like a field of war If a tile or two came loose on the roof Which presently ceased to be waterproof If the drawers were pulled out from bedroom chests And you couldn't find one of your winter vests Or after supper one of the girls Suddenly missed her Woolworth pearls Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat! It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!" And most of the time they left it at that Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had an unusual gift of gab They were highly efficient cat burglars As well and remarkably smart at a smash and grab They made their home in Victoria Grove They had no regular occupation They were plausible fellows who liked to engage A friendly policeman in conversation When the family assembled for Sunday dinner Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner on Argentine joint, potatoes and greens Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow "I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow The joint has gone from the oven like that!" Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat! It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!" And most of the time they left it at that Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had a wonderful way Of working together And some of the time you would say it was luck And some of the time you would say it was weather They'd go through the house like a hurricane And no sober person could take his oath Was it Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer? Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both? When you heard a dining room smash Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash Or down from the library came a loud ping From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat? It was Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer And there's nothing at all to be done about that!" ALL: Macavity! |
