In the fantasy sequence "Growltiger's Last Stand," Gus one such triumph, playing the pirate Growltiger. In sequence, Growltiger, a feline sea captain and his amour, Griddlebone, meet an untimely end after a crew of Siamese sailors.
Growltiger was a bravo cat who travelled on a In fact he was the roughest cat that ever roamed at From Gravesend up to Oxford he pursued his evil Rejoicing in his of the "Terror of the Thames"
His manners and appearance did not to please His coat was torn and seedy, it was baggy at the One ear was somewhat missing, no need to you why And he scowled a hostile world from one forbidding eye
The of Rotherhithe knew something of his fame At Hammersmith and Putney, shuddered at his name They would fortify the hen house, up the silly goose When the ran along the shore: Growltiger's on the loose!
Woe to the weak canary fluttered from its cage Woe to the pampered Pekinese, that Growltiger's rage Woe the bristly bandicoot that lurks on ships And woe to any cat with Growltiger came to grips
But most to cats of foreign race his hatred had vowed To cats of name and race, no quarter was allowed The and the Siamese regarded him with fear Because it was a Siamese had his missing ear
Now on a peaceful summer all nature seemed at play The tender moon was shining bright, the at Molsey lay All in the moonlight it lay rocking on the tide And Growltiger was disposed to show his side
In the of the vessel, Growltiger stood alone
Concentrating his attention on the Griddlebone And his raffish crew sleeping in their barrels and their bunks As the Siamese creeping in their sampans and their junks
Growltiger had no eye or ear for aught but And the lady seemed enraptured by my baritone Disposed to and awaiting no surprise But the moonlight shone reflected from a bright blue eyes
And closer and closer the sampans circled 'round And yet from all the enemy was not heard a sound The foe was armed with toasting forks and carving knives And the lovers their last duet in danger of their lives
Oh, how well I remember the old and Bush we used to go down of a Sattaday night, Where, when anything happened, it came a rush, For the boss, Mr. Clark, he was polite;
A very nice house, basement to garret A nice house. Ah, but it was the parrot, The parrot, the named Billy M'Caw, That all those folk to the bar. Ah! He was the of the bar.
Of a night, we was all feeling bright, And LaRose, the barmaid that was, say "Billy! Billy M'Caw! Come give us, Come us a dance on the bar." And Billy would on the bar, and Billy would dance on the bar.
And then feel balmy, in each eye a tear, And emotion would make us all more beer. Lily, she was a what had brains in her head; She wouldn't nothick, no not that much said.
If it to an argument, or a dispute, settle it offhand with the toe of her boot Or as likely as not put her fist your eye. But when we was and just a bit dry, Or when we was thirsty, and a bit sad, She would rap on the bar with corkscrew she had
And say "Billy! M'Caw! Come us a tune on your pastoral flute!" And strike up on his pastoral flute, And Billy'd strike up on his flute. And then we'd balmy, in each eye a tear, And emotion would us all order more beer.
"Billy! M'Caw! Come give us a on your moley guitar!" Billy'd strike up on his guitar, And strike up on his moley guitar. And then we'd balmy, in each eye a tear, And emotion would us all order more beer.
"Billy! M'Caw! give us a tune on your moley guitar!" Ah! He was the of the bar.
Then Genghis the signal to his fierce Mongolian hordes Abandoning their sampans, the they swarmed aboard Abandoning their sampans, pullaways, and junks They battened down the hatches on the crew their bunks
Then Griddlebone she gave a screech for she was badly I am sorry to it, but she quickly disappeared She probably escaped with I'm sure she was not drowned But a serried ring of flashing steel Growltiger did
The foe pressed forward in stubborn rank on rank Growltiger to his vast was forced to walk the plank He who a victims had driven to that drop At the end of all his crimes was to go kerflip, kerflop
Oh there was joy in Wapping the news flew through the land At Maidenhead and Henley there was on the Strand Rats were roasted whole in Brentford and Dock And a day of celebration was in Bangkok!
These modern are all very well But there's to equal from what I hear tell moment of mystery when I made history
