Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat, the Cat of the Railway Train

There's a whisper down the line at eleven thirty-nine

When the Night Mail's ready to depart

Saying, "Skimble, where is Skimble?

Has he gone to hunt the thimble?

We must find him or the train can't start"

All the guards and all the porters

And the station master's daughters

Would be searching high and low

Saying "Skimble where is Skimble for unless he's very nimble

Then the night mail just can't go."

At eleven forty-two with the signal overdue

And the passengers all frantic to a man

That's when I would appear and I'd saunter to the rear

I'd been busy in the luggage van!

Then he gave one flash of his glass-green eyes

And the signal went "All Clear!"

They'd be off at last to the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere!

Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat

Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat

Skimbleshanks

Skimbleshanks

Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat

The Cat of the Railway Train

You might say that by and large it was me who was in charge

Of the Sleeping Car Express

From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards

I would supervise them all more or less

He would watch you without winking and he saw what you were thinking

And it's certain that he didn't approve

Of hilarity and riot so that folk were very quiet

When Skimble was about and on the move

You could play no pranks with Skimbleshanks!

He's a cat that couldn't be ignored

So nothing went wrong on the Northern Mail

When Skimbleshanks was aboard

It was very pleasant when they'd found their little den

With their name written up on the door

And the berth was very neat with a newly folded sheet

And not a speck of dust upon the floor

Then the guard looked in politely and would ask you very brightly,

"Do you like your morning tea weak or strong?"

But I was just behind him and was ready to remind him

For Skimble won't let anything go wrong

When they crept into their cosy berth and pulled up the counterpane

They all could reflect that it was very nice

To know that they wouldn't be bothered by mice

They can leave all that to the Railway Cat

The Cat of the Railway Train

Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat

The Cat of the Railway Train

And he gives a wave of his long brown tail

Which says "I'll see you again!

You'll meet without fail on the Midnight Mail

The Cat of the Railway Train!"
