The Old Gumbie Cat - Original Cast[00:00:00]

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

Her name is Jennyanydots[00:00:05]

Her coat is of the tabby kind[00:00:09]

With tiger stripes and leopard spots[00:00:13]

All day she sits upon the stairs[00:00:17]

Or on the steps or on the mat[00:00:21]

She sits and sits and sits and sits[00:00:26]

And that's what makes a gumbie cat[00:00:30]

That's what makes a gumbie cat[00:00:34]

But[00:00:40]

When the day's hustle and bustle is done[00:00:42]

Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun[00:00:44]

And when all the family's in bed and asleep[00:00:48]

She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep[00:00:51]

She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice[00:00:54]

Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice[00:00:57]

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

She teaches them[00:01:03]

Music crocheting and tatting[00:01:04]

I have a gumbie cat in mind[00:01:06]

Her name is Jennyanydots[00:01:11]

Her equal would be hard to find[00:01:15]

She likes the warm and sunny spots[00:01:19]

All day she sits beside the hearth[00:01:23]

Or on the bed or on my hat[00:01:28]

She sits and sits and sits and sits[00:01:32]

And that's what makes a gumbie cat[00:01:36]

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

But[00:01:46]

When the day's hustle and bustle is done[00:01:48]

Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun[00:01:50]

As she finds that the mice will not ever keep quiet[00:01:54]

She is sure it is due to[00:01:57]

Irregular diet[00:01:58]

And believing that[00:02:00]

Nothing is done without trying[00:02:01]

She sets right to work with her baking and frying[00:02:03]

She makes them a mouse cake of bread and dried peas[00:02:06]

And a beautiful fry of lean bacon and cheese[00:02:09]

I have a gumbie cat in mind[00:02:41]

Her name is[00:02:46]

Jennyanydots[00:02:47]

The curtain cord she likes to wind[00:02:50]

And tie it into sailor knots[00:02:54]

She sits upon the window sill[00:02:58]

Or anything that's smooth and flat[00:03:02]

She sits and sits and sits and sits[00:03:07]

And that's what makes a gumbie cat[00:03:11]

That's what makes a gumbie cat[00:03:15]

But[00:03:21]

When the day's hustle and bustle is done[00:03:22]

Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun[00:03:25]

She thinks that the cockroaches[00:03:28]

Need employment[00:03:30]

To prevent them from[00:03:31]

Idol and wanton destroyment[00:03:32]

So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts[00:03:34]

A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts[00:03:37]

With a purpose in life and a good deed to do[00:03:40]

And she's even created a beetles tattoo[00:03:43]

So for old gumbie cats let us now give three cheers[00:04:53]

On whom well ordered households depend it appears[00:04:56]

Three cheers three cheers three cheers[00:05:01]

For she's a jolly good fellow[00:05:04]

Thank you my dears[00:05:12]
