[00:00:00] Old Deuteronomy - Andrew Lloyd Webber/"Cats" 1981 Original London Cast

[00:00:01] Lyrics by：T.S. Eliot/Andrew Lloyd Webber/Trevor Nunn/Richard Stilgoe

[00:00:03] Composed by：Andrew Lloyd Webber

[00:01:16] Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time

[00:01:21] He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession

[00:01:27] He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme

[00:01:32] A long while before Queen Victoria's accession

[00:01:38] Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives

[00:01:44] And more I am tempted to say ninety-nine

[00:01:50] And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives

[00:01:55] And the village is proud of him in his decline

[00:02:02] At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy

[00:02:07] When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall

[00:02:13] The oldest inhabitant croaks

[00:02:17] Well of all things can it be really

[00:02:24] Yes no ho hi oh my eye

[00:02:29] My mind may be wandering but I confess

[00:02:34] I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

[00:02:39] Well of all things can it be really

[00:02:46] Yes no ho hi oh my eye

[00:02:51] My legs may be tottery I must go slow

[00:02:57] And be careful of Old Deuteronomy
