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...
