Old Gumbie Cat (From "Cats") - Musical Cast Recording (音乐剧)/Original Cast/The New Musical Cast[00:00:00]

Written by：T.S. Eliot/Andrew Lloyd Webber[00:00:00]

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

Her name is Jennyanydots[00:00:04]

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[00:00:18]

Or on the steps or on the mat[00:00:22]

She sits and sits and sits and sits and that's[00:00:27]

What makes a Gumbie cat[00:00:32]

That's what makes a Gumbie cat[00:00:36]

But[00:00:42]

When the day's hustle and bustle is done[00:00:43]

Then the Gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun[00:00:46]

And when all the family's in bed and asleep[00:00:49]

She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep[00:00:52]

She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice[00:00:55]

Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice[00:00:58]

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

She teaches them music crocheting and tatting[00:01:04]

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

Her name is Jennyanydots[00:01:13]

Her equal would be hard to find[00:01:17]

She likes the warm and sunny spots[00:01:22]

All day she sits beside the hearth or on the bed or on my hat[00:01:26]

She sits and sits and sits and sits[00:01:35]

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

That's what makes a Gumbie cat[00:01:44]

But when the day's hustle and bustle is done[00:01:49]

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[00:01:59]

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

She sets right to work with her baking and frying[00:02:05]

She makes them a mouse cake of bread and dried peas[00:02:08]

And a beautiful fry of lean bacon and cheese[00:02:11]

I have a Gumbie cat in mind[00:02:46]

Her name is Jennyanydots[00:02:50]

The curtain cord she likes to wind and tie it into sailor knots[00:02:55]

She sits upon the windowsill or anything that's smooth and flat[00:03:04]

She sits and sits and sits and sits[00:03:13]

And that's what makes a Gumbie cat[00:03:17]

That's what makes a Gumbie cat[00:03:22]

But[00:03:28]

When the day's hustle and bustle is done[00:03:29]

Then the Gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun[00:03:32]

She thinks that the cockroaches need employment[00:03:35]

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

So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts[00:03:41]

A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts[00:03:44]

With a purpose in life and a good deed to do[00:03:47]

And she's even created a beetles tattoo[00:03:50]

So for old Gumbie cats let us give three cheers[00:05:02]

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

Three cheers three cheers three cheers[00:05:10]

For she's a jolly good fellow[00:05:13]

Thank you my dears[00:05:22]
