gus: the theatre cat - andrew lloyd weber[00:00:00]

作词：t. s. eliot[00:00:01]

gus is the cat at the theatre door[00:00:06]

his name as i ought to have told you before[00:00:12]

is really asparagus but that's such a fuss[00:00:19]

to pronounce that we usually call him[00:00:25]

just gus[00:00:31]

his coat's very shabby[00:00:33]

he's thin as a rake[00:00:37]

and he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake[00:00:40]

yet he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats[00:00:46]

but no longer a terror to mice or to rats[00:00:52]

for he isn't the cat[00:00:59]

that he was in his prime[00:01:03]

though his name was quite famous[00:01:06]

he says in his time[00:01:10]

and whenever he joins his friends at their club[00:01:13]

which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub[00:01:19]

he loves to regale them if someone else pays[00:01:26]

with anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days[00:01:33]

for he once was a star of the highest degree[00:01:39]

he has acted with irving he's acted with tree[00:01:45]

and he likes to relate his success on the halls[00:01:51]

where the gallery once gave him seven catcalls[00:01:57]

but his grandest creation as he loves to tell[00:02:04]

was firefrorefiddle[00:02:12]

the fiend of the fell[00:02:16]

i have played in my time[00:02:27]

every possible part[00:02:31]

and i used to know seventy speeches by heart[00:02:35]

i'd extemporize backchat[00:02:43]

i knew how to gag[00:02:47]

and i knew[00:02:50]

how to let the cat out of the bag[00:02:51]

i knew how to act with my back and my tail[00:02:58]

with an hour of rehearsal[00:03:05]

i never could fail[00:03:08]

i'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts[00:03:11]

whether i took the lead or in character parts[00:03:18]

i have sat by the bedside of poor little nell[00:03:26]

when the curfew was rung[00:03:33]

then i swung on the bell[00:03:35]

in the pantomime season i never fell flat[00:03:39]

and i once understudied dick whittington's cat[00:03:45]

but my grandest creation[00:03:52]

as history will tell[00:03:56]

was firefrorefiddle the fiend of the fell[00:04:00]

then if someone will give him a toothful of gin[00:04:15]

he will tell how he once played a part[00:04:20]

in east lynne[00:04:24]

at a shakespeare performance he once walked on pat[00:04:25]

when some actor suggested the need for a cat[00:04:30]

and i say now these kittens[00:04:36]

they do not get trained[00:04:39]

as we did in the days when victoria reigned[00:04:42]

they never get drilled in a regular troupe[00:04:48]

and they think they are smart[00:04:54]

just to jump through a hoop[00:04:57]

and he says as he scratches himself with his claws[00:05:00]

well the theatre is certainly not what it was[00:05:06]

these modern productions are all very well[00:05:12]

but there's nothing to equal from what i hear tell[00:05:19]

that moment of mystery when i made history[00:05:26]

as firefrorefiddle[00:05:36]

the fiend of the fell[00:05:41]

i once crossed the stage on a telegraph wire[00:05:58]

to rescue a child when a house was on fire[00:06:04]

and i think that i still can much better than most[00:06:11]

produce blood-curdling noises to bring on the ghost[00:06:17]

and i once played growltiger[00:06:25]

could do it again[00:06:29]

could do it again[00:06:32]

could do it again[00:06:37]
