MUNKUSTRAP:
Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time
He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession
He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme
A long while before Queen Victorias accession
RUM TUM TUGGER:
Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives
And more; I am tempted to say ninety-nine
And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives
And the village is proud of him in his decline
MUNKUSTRAP:
At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy
When he sits in the sun on the vicarige wall
The oldest inhabitent croaks:
R T TUGGER & MUNKUSTRAP:
Well of all things
Can it be really?
Yes...no...ho hi oh my eye
My mind may be wandering but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy!
Can it be really?
Yes...no...ho hi oh my eye
OLD DEUTERONOMY:
My legs may be tottery
I must go slow
And be careful of Old Deuteronomy
