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, meet an untimely end after battling a crew of 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 he pursued his evil aims in his title of the "Terror of the Thames"
His manners and appearance did not to please His was torn and seedy, it was baggy at the knees One ear was somewhat missing, no need to you why And he scowled upon a hostile world from one eye
The cottagers of Rotherhithe something of his fame At and Putney, people shuddered at his name They would fortify the hen house, lock up the silly the rumor ran along the shore: Growltiger's on the loose!
Woe to the weak canary that fluttered its cage Woe to the pampered Pekinese, that faced Growltiger's Woe the bristly bandicoot that lurks on ships And woe to any cat with whom Growltiger to grips
But to cats of foreign race his hatred had been vowed To of foreign 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 night all nature seemed at play The moon was shining bright, the barge at Molsey lay All in the balmy moonlight it lay rocking on the And Growltiger was disposed to show his sentimental
In the of the vessel, Growltiger stood alone
Concentrating his on the lady Griddlebone And his raffish crew were sleeping in 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 enraptured by my manly Disposed to relaxation and no surprise But the moonlight shone from a thousand bright blue eyes
And closer still and the sampans circled 'round And yet from all the enemy there was not a sound The foe was armed toasting forks and cruel carving knives And the lovers sang their last in danger of their lives
Oh, how well I the old Bull and Bush Where we used to go of a Sattaday night, Where, when anything happened, it came a rush, For the boss, Mr. Clark, he was very
A very nice house, from to garret A nice 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 night, we was all feeling bright, And LaRose, the barmaid that was, She'd say "Billy! Billy M'Caw! Come us, Come give us a on the bar." And Billy would dance on the bar, and Billy would 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 have nothick, no not that much said.
If it to an argument, or a dispute, She'd settle it offhand the toe of her boot Or as as not put her fist through your eye. But we was happy and just a bit dry, Or we was thirsty, and just a bit sad, She would rap on the bar that corkscrew she had
And say "Billy! M'Caw! Come give us a tune on your flute!" And Billy'd strike up on his flute, And strike up on his pastoral flute. And then we'd feel balmy, in eye a tear, And emotion would make us all more beer.
"Billy! M'Caw! Come give us a tune on your guitar!" Billy'd 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 make us all order more beer.
"Billy! M'Caw! Come us a tune on your moley guitar!" Ah! He was the of the bar.
Then gave the signal to his fierce Mongolian hordes Abandoning their sampans, the chinks swarmed aboard Abandoning their sampans, their pullaways, their They battened down the hatches on the crew within bunks
Griddlebone she gave a screech for she was badly skeered I am sorry to admit it, but she quickly She probably escaped with I'm sure she was not drowned But a serried ring of flashing steel did surround
The foe pressed forward in stubborn rank on rank Growltiger to his vast surprise was forced to walk the He who a victims had driven to that drop At the end of all his was forced to go kerflip, kerflop
Oh there was joy in Wapping when the flew through the land At Maidenhead and Henley there was on the Strand Rats roasted whole in Brentford and Victoria Dock And a day of celebration was in Bangkok!
