[A] [Ab]
[Ebm] [D] [Dbm] Mongo, [D] Jerry, and Rumpelteaser were a notorious couple of cats.
As knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians, tight-wool walkers, and [Bm]
acrobats.
[G] They had an extensive [A] reputation.
[G] They made their home in Victoria Grove.
That was merely their center of operation.
For they were [Gbm] incurably given [D] 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 [G] the drawers were pulled out from the 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 [Ab] say, it's that horrible cat!
It was Mongo, [A] Jerry, or [D] Rumpelteaser.
[A] And most of the [Gm] time, [D] they left it at that.

[A] [G] [A] [Eb] [A]
[Eb] [A] [D] [Dbm] Mongo, [D] Jerry, and Rumpelteaser [Gb] had an unusual gift of the [D] gab.
[Bm] They were highly [E] [D] efficient cat burglars as well.
[A] [D] And remarkably smart [Am] at a [D] smash and grab.
[G] They made [D] their [G] home in Victoria Grove.
They had no regular occupation.
They were plausible fellows who liked to engage.
A friendly policeman in [Gbm] [D]
conversation.
When the family assembled for Sunday dinner, their [E] minds [D] made up that they wouldn't get dinner on Argentine joint.
Potatoes and greens, then the cook would appear from behind the scenes.
[G] And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow, I'm afraid you must wait until dinner tomorrow.
The joint has gone from the oven like that.
Then the family would say, [A] it's that horrible [Bm] cat!
It was [A] Mongo, Jerry, or
[D] Rumpelteaser.
[G] And most of [Dm] the [Gm] time, [D] they left it [Eb] at that.
Mongo, Jerry, and Rumpelteaser had a [A] [Eb] 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 [Ab] weather.
They'd go through the house like a hurricane.
And no sober person could take his oath.
Was it Mongo, Jerry, or Rumpelteaser?
[Bb] Or could you have sworn that it [Eb] mightn't be both?
[F] And when you heard a dining room smash, or up from the pantry there came a loud [Ebm] crash.
[Db] Or down from the library came a loud ding from a vase [Dbm] which was commonly [Db] said to be Ming.
[Eb] [Bb] Then the family would [B] say, [Eb] now which was which cat?
It was Mongo, Jerry, and [Bb] Rumpelteaser.
And there's nothing at all to be done [Eb] about
[Eb]
[Ab] [Bb] [Ab]
