The Old Gumbie Cat - From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats"

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 step 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 tuck up my skirts to the basement to creep
 I am 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-and
 When the day's hustle and bustle is done
 Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun
 I think 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've even created a Beetles' 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
