Cats - The Old Gumbie Cat
Munkustrap
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
Demeter, Bombalurina, & Jellylorum
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
Demeter, Bombalurina, & Jellylorum
So when she has got them lined up on the matting
She teaches them
Jennyanydots
Music, crocheting and tatting
Munkustrap
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
Demeter, Bombalurina, & Jellylorum
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
Jennyanydots
Just need employment
Demter, Bombalurina, & Jellylorum
To prevent them from
Jennyanydots
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
Demeter, Bombalurina, & Jellylorum
And she's even created a beetles tattoo!
All
For she's a jolly good fellow!
Jennyanydots
Thank you my dears...
The second cat we are introduced to is "The Rum Tum Tugger," a playful prankster that the female cats find extremely attractive. Tugger explains how fussy he can be: he wants what he doesn't have, and doesn't want what's offered to him. The one thing that he does enjoy is being the center of attention, which he is throughout the number
