In the fantasy sequence "Growltiger's Last Stand," Gus one such triumph, the pirate Growltiger. In this sequence, Growltiger, a feline sea captain and his amour, Griddlebone, an untimely end after battling a crew of Siamese sailors.
Growltiger was a bravo cat who on a barge In he was the roughest cat that ever roamed at large From up to Oxford he pursued his evil aims in his title of the "Terror of the Thames"
His manners and appearance did not calculate to His coat was torn and seedy, it was baggy at the One ear was missing, no need to tell you why And he scowled upon a hostile from one forbidding eye
The cottagers of Rotherhithe something of his fame At and Putney, people shuddered at his name They fortify the hen house, lock up the silly goose When the rumor ran along the Growltiger's on the loose!
Woe to the weak canary that from its cage Woe to the Pekinese, that faced Growltiger's rage Woe the bristly bandicoot that on foreign ships And woe to any cat with whom Growltiger came to
But most to cats of foreign race his had been vowed To cats of name and race, no quarter was allowed The Persian and the Siamese him with fear Because it was a Siamese had his missing ear
Now on a peaceful summer night all nature seemed at The tender moon was shining bright, the barge at lay All in the moonlight it lay rocking on the tide And Growltiger was to show his sentimental side
In the forepeak of the vessel, Growltiger stood
his attention on the lady Griddlebone And his raffish crew were in their barrels and their bunks As the Siamese came creeping in sampans and their junks
Growltiger had no eye or ear for but Griddlebone And the lady seemed by my manly baritone Disposed to relaxation and no surprise But the moonlight shone reflected from a bright blue eyes
And closer still and closer the circled 'round And yet from all the enemy there was not heard a The foe was armed with toasting and cruel carving knives And the lovers their last duet in danger of their lives
Oh, how well I the old Bull and Bush Where we to go down of a Sattaday night, Where, anything happened, it came with a rush, For the boss, Mr. Clark, he was very
A very nice house, basement to garret A very house. Ah, but it was the parrot, The parrot, the named Billy M'Caw, That brought all those to the bar. Ah! He was the of the bar.
Of a Sattaday night, we was all bright, And Lily LaRose, the that was, She'd say "Billy! Billy M'Caw! Come us, Come us a dance on the bar." And Billy would dance on the bar, and would dance on the bar.
And then we'd feel balmy, in eye a tear, And emotion would make us all order beer. Lily, she was a girl what had brains in her She wouldn't nothick, no not that much said.
If it to an argument, or a dispute, She'd it offhand with the toe of her boot Or as as not put her fist through your eye. But when we was and just a bit dry, Or we was thirsty, and just a bit sad, She rap on the bar with that corkscrew she had
And say "Billy! M'Caw! give us a tune on your pastoral flute!" And Billy'd up on his pastoral flute, And strike up on his pastoral flute. And then feel balmy, in each eye a tear, And would make us all order more beer.
"Billy! M'Caw! Come give us a tune on your guitar!" strike up on his moley guitar, And Billy'd strike up on his guitar. And then we'd balmy, in each eye a tear, And emotion would make us all order beer.
"Billy! M'Caw! Come us a tune on your moley guitar!" Ah! He was the of the bar.
Then Genghis gave the signal to his fierce hordes Abandoning their sampans, the chinks they aboard Abandoning their sampans, pullaways, their junks They battened down the on the crew within their bunks
Then Griddlebone she gave a screech for she was badly I am to admit it, but she quickly disappeared She probably escaped with ease I'm sure she was not But a serried ring of flashing Growltiger did surround
The ruthless foe pressed in stubborn rank on rank Growltiger to his surprise was forced to walk the plank He who a hundred victims had to that drop At the end of all his crimes was forced to go kerflip,
Oh there was joy in Wapping the news flew through the land At Maidenhead and Henley was dancing on the Strand Rats were whole in Brentford and Victoria Dock And a day of celebration was in Bangkok!
