letra de the old gumbie cat - alan rawsthorne

Loading...

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 stair or on the steps or on the mat;
she sits and sits and sits and sits – and 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
she tucks up her skirts to the bas-m-nt to creep
she is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice
their behaviour’s not good and their manners not nice;
so when she has got them lined up on the matting
she teachs them music, crocheting and tatting

i have a gumbie cat in mind, her name is jennyanydots;
her equal would be hard to find, she likes the warm and sunny spots
all day she sits beside the hearth or on the bed or on my hat:
she sits and sits and sits and sits – and 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
as she finds that the mice will not ever keep quiet
she is sure it is due to irregular diet;
and believing that nothing is done without trying
she sets right to work with her baking and frying
she makes them a mouse–cake of bread and dried peas
and a beautiful fry of lean bacon and cheese

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 window-sill, or anything that’s smooth and flat:
she sits and sits and sits and sits – and 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
she thinks that the c-ckroaches just need employment
to prevent them from idle and wanton destroyment
so she’s 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 she’s even created a beetles’ tattoo
so for old gumbie cats let us now give three cheers
on whom well-ordered households depend, it appears
