《Old Deuteronomy》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Deuteronomy - London Starlight Orchestra

[00:00:33] Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time

[00:00:38] He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession

[00:00:43] He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme

[00:00:49] A long while before Queen Victoria's accession

[00:00:55] Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives

[00:01:00] And more I am tempted to say ninety-nine

[00:01:05] And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives

[00:01:10] And the village is proud of him in his decline

[00:01:16] At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy

[00:01:22] When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall

[00:01:27] The Oldest Inhabitant croaks

[00:01:32] Well of all things can it be really

[00:01:38] Yes No Ho Hi Oh my eye

[00:01:43] My mind may be wandering but I confess

[00:01:49] I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

[00:02:17] Old Deuteronomy sits in the street

[00:02:21] He sits in the high street on market day

[00:02:27] The Bullocks may bellow the sheep they may bleat

[00:02:32] But the dogs and the herdsmen will turn them away

[00:02:38] The cars and the lorries run over the curb

[00:02:44] And the villagers put up a notice Road closed

[00:02:49] So that nothing untoward may chance to disturb

[00:02:54] Deuteronomy's rest when he feels so disposed

[00:03:00] The digestive repose of that feline's gastronomy

[00:03:05] Must never be broken whate'er may befall

[00:03:11] The Oldest Inhabitant croaks

[00:03:15] Well of all things can it be really

[00:03:22] Yes No Ho Hi Oh my eye

[00:03:27] My mind may be wandering but I confess

[00:03:32] I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

[00:03:37] Well of all things can it be really

[00:03:44] Yes No Ho Hi Oh my eye

[00:03:49] My legs may be tottery I must go slow

[00:03:54] And be careful of Old Deuteronomy
