mungojerrie and rumpleteazer ^*

• the cats müzikalinde yer alan karakterlerden ikisi... birbirlerine daha da benzemek amacıyla aynı kıyafetleri giyen hırsız ikili aynı zamanda müzikaldeki en şakacı, en matrak tiplemelerdir... kimine göre kardeş, kimine göre arkadaş olan mungojerrie ve rumpleteazer hakkındaki değişmez gerçek birbirlerinden hiç ayrılmadıkları ve mungo'nun rumple'dan daha yaşlı olduğudur...

• ayrıca müzikalde yer alan bir parçadır...
  
  solo (spoken):
  -macavity!
  
  mungojerrie:
  -mungojerrie
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -and rumpleteazer
  
  both:
  -we're a notorious couple of cats
  -as knockabout clowns, quick change comedians
  -tight-rope walkers and acrobats
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -we have an extensive reputation
  
  mungojerrie:
  -we make our home in victoria grove
  
  both:
  -that is merely our center of operation
  -for we are incurably given to rove
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -we are very well known in cornwall gardens
  
  mungojerrie:
  -in launceston place
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -and in kensington square
  
  both:
  -we have really a little more reputation
  -than a couple of cats can very well bear
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -if the area window is found ajar
  
  mungojerrie:
  -or the basement looks like a field of war
  -if a tile or two comes loose on the roof
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -which presently fails to be waterproof
  
  both:
  -if the drawers are pulled out from bedroom chests
  -and you can't find one of your winter vests
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -if after supper one of the girls
  -suddenly misses her woolworth pearls
  
  both:
  -then the family will say, "it's that horrible cat!
  
  mungojerrie:
  -"it was mungojerrie
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -"or rumpleteazer!"
  
  both:
  -and most of the time they leave it at that
  
  both:
  -mungojerrie and rumpleteazer have a very unusual gift of the gab
  
  mungojerrie:
  -we are highly efficient cat burglars as well
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -and remarkably smart at the smash and grab
  -we make our home in victoria grove
  
  mungojerrie:
  -we have no regular occupation
  
  both:
  -we are plausible fellows who like to engage
  -a friendly policeman in conversation
  
  -when the family assembles for sunday dinner
  -their minds made up that they won't get thinner
  
  mungojerrie:
  -on argentine joint,
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -potatoes and greens
  
  both:
  -then the cook will appear from behind the scenes
  
  mungojerrie:
  -and say in a voice that is broken with sorrow
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -"i'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow
  -for the joint has gone from the oven like that!"
  
  both:
  -then the family will say, "it's that horrible cat!
  
  mungojerrie:
  -"it was mungojerrie
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -"or rumpleteazer!"
  
  both:
  -and most of the time they leave it at that
  
  both:
  -mungojerrie and rumpleteazer have a wonderful way
  -of working together
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -and some of the time you would say it was luck
  
  mungojerrie:
  -and some of the time you would say it was weather
  
  both:
  -we go through the house like a hurricane
  -and no sober person could take his oath
  
  mungojerrie:
  -was it mungojerrie?
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -or rumpleteazer?
  
  both:
  -or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?
  
  mungojerrie:
  -and when you hear a dining room smash
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -or up from the pantry there comes a loud crash
  
  mungojerrie:
  -or down from the library there comes a loud ping
  
  rumpleteazer:
  -from a vase that was commonly said to be ming
  
  both:
  -then the family will say: "now which was which cat?
  -it was mungojerrie *and* rumpleteazer!"
  
  -and there's nothing at all to be done about that!
