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

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

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

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

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

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

Or on the mat[00:00:25]

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

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

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

But[00:00:41]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Her name is jennyanydots[00:02:51]

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

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

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

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

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

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

But[00:03:26]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you my dears[00:05:24]
