Mungojerrie [bad word] were a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick [bad word] 
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

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 [bad word] #33;
And most of the time they left it at that

Mungojerrie [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] said to be Ming
Then the family would say: Now which was which cat?
It was Mungojerrie [bad word] 
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!
