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

Her name is Jennyanydots[00:00:05]

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

Tiger stripes and leopard spots[00:00:14]

All day she sits upon the stair or on[00:00:18]

The step or on the mat[00:00:23]

She sits and sits and sits and sits[00:00:27]

And that's what makes a Gumbie Cat[00:00:32]

That's what makes a Gumbie Cat [00:00:37]

But [00:00:43]

When the day's hustle and bustle is done[00:00:44]

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 behaviour'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[00:01:05]

I have a Gumbie Cat in mind[00:01:09]

Her name is Jennyanydots[00:01:13]

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

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

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

Or on the bed or on my hat[00:01:31]

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[00:01:59]

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

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

She makes them a mouse-cake of[00:02:08]

Bread and dried peas[00:02:10]

And a beautiful fry of lean bacon and cheese[00:02:12]

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

Her name is Jennyanydots[00:02:50]

The curtain cord she likes to wind[00:02:55]

And tie it into sailor knots[00:02:59]

She sits upon the windowsill or[00:03:04]

Anything that's smooth and flat[00:03:09]

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

And that's what makes a Gumbie Cat[00:03:18]

That's what makes a Gumbie Cat [00:03:23]

But [00:03:29]

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

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[00:05:03]

On whom well ordered households depend it appears[00:05:06]

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

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

Thank you my dears[00:05:23]
