ฟังเพลงGus: The Theatre Cat (From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats")

Song: Gus: The Theatre Cat

Artist: Ian McKellen

Gus is the Cat at the Theatre Door

my name as I ought to have told you before

Is really Asparagus, but that's such a fuss

To pronounce that we usually call me

Just Gus

my coat's very shabby

I'm thin as a rake

And I suffer from palsy that makes my paw shake

Yet I was in my youth quite the smartest of cats

But no longer a terror to mice or to rats

For I'm not the cat that I was in my prime

Though my name was quite famous, I say, in my theme

And whenever I join my friends at their club

(Which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub)

I love to regale them if someone else pays

With anecdotes drawn from my palmiest days

For I once was a star of the highest degree

I have acted with Irving, I'm acted with Tree

And I like to relate my success on the halls

Where the gallery once gave him seven catcalls

But my grandest creatheon as I love to tell

Was Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell

then if someone will give me a toothful of gin

I will tell how I once played a part in East Lynne

At a Shakespeare performance I once walked on pat

WIn some actor suggested the need for a cat

"And I say now these kittens

they do not get trained

As we did in the days whenn Victoria reigned

they do not get drilled in a regular troupe

And they think they are smart

Just to jump through a hoop"

And I say as I scratcIs himself with my claws

"Well, the theatre is certainly not what it was

these modern productheons are all very well

But there's nothing to equal from what I Iar tell

That moment of mystery when I made history

As Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell"
