《The Old Cumbie Cat》歌词

[00:00:00] The Old Cumbie Cat (From "Cats") - The Musical Orchestra

[00:00:01] I have a gumbie cat in mind

[00:00:05] Her name is jenny any dots

[00:00:10] Her coat is of the tabby kind

[00:00:14] With tiger stripes and leopard spots

[00:00:20] All day she sits upon the stair or on the step

[00:00:25] Or on the mat

[00:00:28] She sits and sits and sits and sits

[00:00:32] And that's what makes a gumbie cat

[00:00:38] That's what makes a gumbie cat

[00:00:41] But

[00:00:45] When the day's hustle and bustle is done

[00:00:47] Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun

[00:00:50] And when all the family's in bed and asleep

[00:00:53] She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep

[00:00:56] She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice

[00:00:59] Their behaviour's not good and their manners not nice

[00:01:03] So when she has got them lined up on the matting

[00:01:06] She teaches them music crocheting and tatting

[00:01:08] I have a gumbie cat in mind

[00:01:14] Hr name is jenny any dots

[00:01:18] Her equal would be hard to find

[00:01:23] She likes the warm and sunny spots

[00:01:27] All day she sits beside the hearth

[00:01:32] Or on the bed or on my hat

[00:01:36] She sits and sits and sits and sits

[00:01:40] And that's what makes a gumbie cat

[00:01:45] That's what makes a gumbie cat

[00:01:50] But when the day's hustle and bustle is done

[00:01:53] Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun

[00:01:56] As she finds that the mice will not ever keep quiet

[00:02:00] She is sure it is due to irregular diet

[00:02:02] And believing that nothing is done without trying

[00:02:06] She sets right to work with her baking and frying

[00:02:09] She makes them a mouse cake of bread and dried peas

[00:02:13] And a beautiful fry of lean bacon and cheese

[00:02:47] I have a gumbie cat in mind

[00:02:51] Her name is jennyanydots

[00:02:54] The curtain cord she likes to wind

[00:03:00] And tie it into sailor knots

[00:03:05] She sits upon the windowsill or anything that's smooth and flat

[00:03:11] She sits and sits and sits and sits

[00:03:19] And that's what makes a gumbie cat

[00:03:23] That's what makes a gumbie cat

[00:03:26] But

[00:03:30] When the day's hustle and bustle is done

[00:03:33] Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun

[00:03:36] She thinks that the cockroaches need employment

[00:03:38] To prevent them from idle and wanton destroyment

[00:03:42] So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts

[00:03:45] A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts

[00:03:49] With a purpose in life and a good deed to do

[00:03:52] And she's even created a beetles tat too

[00:05:03] So for old gumbie cats let us give three cheers

[00:05:07] On whom well ordered households depend it appears

[00:05:11] Three cheers three cheers three cheers

[00:05:14] For she's a jolly good fellow

[00:05:24] Thank you my dears
