The Cats

The Cats - The Old Gumbie Cat lyrics

Your rating:

Munkustrap introduces Jennyanydots who sleeps and lounges all 

day long. But at night, she becomes a super-active nanny. She 

instructs the mice in music and crochet work, and keeps the 

cockroaches busy. The cats take this opportunity to dress up with 

Jenny and perform an exuberant tap dance. 



SOLO: 

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 that's what makes a gumbie cat 

That's what makes a gumbie cat 



FEMALE CATS: 

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 



So when she has got them lined up on the matting 

She teaches them music, crocheting and tatting 



SOLO: 

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 that's what makes a gumbie cat 

That's what makes a gumbie cat 



FEMALE CATS: 

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 

With a purpose in life and a good deed to do 

And she's even created a beetles tattoo! 



For she's a jolly good fellow! 



JENNYANYDOTS: 

Thank you my dears...
