The Old Gumbie Cat - Cats The Musical[00:00:00]

Written by：T. S. Eliot/A. L. Webber[00:00:01]

I have a Gumbie cat in mind[00:00:34]

Her name is Jennyanydots[00:00:38]

Her coat is of the tabby kind[00:00:42]

With tiger stripes and leopard spots[00:00:46]

All day she sits upon the stair[00:00:51]

Or on the step or on the mat[00:00:55]

She sits and sits and sits and sits[00:00:59]

And that's what makes a Gumbie cat[00:01:03]

That's what makes a Gumbie cat[00:01:07]

But when the day's hustle and bustle is done[00:01:14]

Then the Gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun[00:01:18]

And when all the family's in bed and asleep[00:01:21]

She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep[00:01:24]

She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice[00:01:27]

Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice[00:01:31]

So when she has got them lined up on the matting[00:01:34]

She teaches them music crocheting and tatting[00:01:37]

I have a Gumbie cat in mind[00:01:43]

Her name is Jennyanydots[00:01:47]

Her equal would be hard to find[00:01:51]

She likes the warm and sunny spots[00:01:55]

All day she sits beside the hearth or on the bed or on my hat[00:02:00]

She sits and sits and sits and sits[00:02:08]

And that's what makes a Gumbie cat[00:02:12]

That's what makes a Gumbie cat[00:02:16]

But when the day's hustle and bustle is done[00:02:22]

Then the Gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun[00:02:26]

As she finds that the mice will not ever keep quiet[00:02:30]

She is sure it is due to irregular diet[00:02:33]

And believing that nothing is done without trying[00:02:36]

She sets right to work with her baking and frying[00:02:39]

She makes them a mouse cake of bread and dried peas[00:02:42]

And a beautiful fry of lean bacon and cheese[00:02:46]

I have a Gumbie cat in mind[00:03:19]

Her name is Jennyanydots[00:03:24]

The curtain cord she likes to wind and tie it into sailor knots[00:03:28]

She sits upon the windowsill or anything that's smooth and flat[00:03:36]

She sits and sits and sits and sits[00:03:45]

And that's what makes a Gumbie cat[00:03:49]

That's what makes a Gumbie cat[00:03:54]

But[00:04:00]

When the day's hustle and bustle is done[00:04:01]

Then the Gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun[00:04:04]

She thinks that the cockroaches need employment[00:04:07]

To prevent them from idle and wanton destroyment[00:04:11]

So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts[00:04:14]

A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts[00:04:17]

With a purpose in life and a good deed to do[00:04:20]

And she's even created a Beetles Tattoo[00:04:24]

So for old Gumbie cats let us give three cheers[00:04:46]

On whom well ordered households depend it appears[00:04:49]

Three cheers three cheers three cheers[00:04:54]

For she's a jolly good fellow[00:04:57]

Thank you my dears[00:05:03]
