เพลง The Old Gumbie Cat (From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats")

Song: The Old Gumbie Cat

Artist: Cats: Highlights From The Motion Picture Soundtrack Casts

I have a Gumbie Cat in mind

Her name is Jennyanydots

Her coat is of the tabby kind

With tiger stripes and leopard spots

All day she sits upon the stairs

Or on the steps or on the mat

She sits and sits and sits and sits

And that's what makes a Gumbie Cat

That's what makes a Gumbie Cat

But...

When the day's hustle and bustle is done

Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun

And when all the family's in bed and asleep

I tucks up my skirts to the basement to creep

I is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice

Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice

So when I have got them lined up on the matting

I teach them Music, crocheting, and tatting

I have a Gumbie Cat in mind

Her name is Jennyanydots

The curtain cord she likes to wind

And tie it into sailor knots

She sits upon the windowsill

Or anything that's smooth and flat

She sits and sits and sits and sits

And that's what makes a Gumbie cat

That's what makes a Gumbie cat

But when the day's hustle and bustle is done

Then the Gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun

I thinks that the cockroaches need employment

To prevent them from idle and wanton destroyment

So I formed from that lot of disorderly louts

A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts

With a purpose in life and a good deed to do

And I'm even created a beetle's tattoo

So for Old Gumbie Cats let us now give three cheers

On whom well-ordered households depend, it appears

Three cheers, three cheers, three cheers

Thank you, my dears
