Cats Soundtrack Miscellaneous The Old Gumbie Cat MISTOFFELEES: 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 beneath 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 FEMALE CHORUS: 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 basement to creep She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice JENNYANYDOTS: Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice FEMALE CHORUS: So when she has got them lined up on the matting She teaches them JENNYANYDOTS: Music, crocheting and tatting MISTOFFELEES: 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 That's what makes a gumbie cat FEMALE CHORUS: But... When the day's hustle and bustle is done Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun She thinks that the mice will not ever keep quiet; she is sure it is due to JENNYANYDOTS: Irregular diet FEMALE CHORUS: And believing that JENNYANYDOTS: Nothing is done without trying FEMALE CHORUS: She sets right to work with her baking and frying She makes them a mouse-cake of bread and dried peas JENNYANYDOTS: And a beautiful fry of lean bacon and cheese! (DANCE) MISTOFFELEES: 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 That's what makes a gumbie cat FEMALE CHORUS: But... When the day's hustle and bustle is done Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun She thinks that the cockroaches 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 JENNYANYDOTS: With a purpose in life and a good deed to do FEMALE CHORUS: And she's even created a beetles tattoo! (DANCE) FULL CHORUS: 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! For she's a jolly good fellow! JENNYANYDOTS: Thank you my dears! |
