[00:34.463]I have a Gumbie Cat in mind
[00:38.726]Her name is Jennyanydots
[00:42.730]Her coat is of the tabby kind with tiger stripes and leopard spots
[00:51.245]All day she sits upon the stair or on the step or on the mat
[00:59.764]She sits and sits and sits and sits
[01:03.775]And that's what makes a Gumbie Cat
[01:07.777]That's what makes a Gumbie Cat
[01:14.294]But
[01:15.544]When the day's hustle and bustle is done
[01:18.301]Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun
[01:22.061]And when all the family's in bed and asleep
[01:24.815]She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep
[01:27.824]She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice
[01:31.079]Their behaviour's not good and their manners not nice
[01:34.336]So when she has got them lined up on the matting
[01:37.594]She teaches them music crocheting and tatting
[01:44.107]I have a Gumbie Cat in mind
[01:47.112]Her name is Jennyanydots
[01:51.620]Her equal would be hard to find
[01:55.629]Se likes the warm and sunny spots
[02:00.144]All day she sits beside the hearth or on the bed or on my hat
[02:08.406]She sits and sits and sits and sits
[02:12.664]And that's what makes a Gumbie Cat
[02:16.674]That's what makes a Gumbie Cat
[02:22.932]But When the day's hustle and bustle is done
[02:26.692]Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun
[02:29.948]As she finds that the mice will not ever keep quiet
[02:32.956]She is sure it is due to irregular diet
[02:36.963]And believing that nothing is done without trying
[02:39.465]She sets right to work with her baking and frying
[02:42.972]She makes them a mouse-cake of bread and dried peas
[02:46.731]And a beautiful fry of lean bacon and cheese
[03:20.058]I have a Gumbie Cat in mind
[03:24.315]Her name is Jennyanydots
[03:28.574]The curtain cord she likes to wind and tie it into sailor knots
[03:37.084]She sits upon the windowsill or anything that's smooth and flat
[03:45.603]She sits and sits and sits and sits
[03:50.116]And that's what makes a Gumbie Cat
[03:55.122]That's what makes a Gumbie Cat
[04:00.634]But
[04:01.886]When the day's hustle and bustle is done
[04:04.895]Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun
[04:07.901]She thinks that the cockroaches need employment
[04:11.660]To prevent them from idle and wanton destroyment
[04:14.167]So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts
[04:17.434]A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts
[04:20.940]With a purpose in life and a good deed to do
[04:23.950]And she's even created a Beetles Tattoo
[04:46.734]So for old Gumbie Cats let us give three cheers
[04:49.486]On whom well ordered households depend it appears
[04:54.006]Three cheers three cheers three cheers
[04:58.517]For she's a jolly good fellow
[05:04.023]Thank you my dears
