Luyện nghe bài hát Gus, The Theatre Cat

Gus is the cat at the door
His name, as I ought to have told you
Is really Asparagus, but that's such a fuss to
That we usually him just Gus

His coat's shabby, he's thin as a rake
And he suffers from palsy makes his paw shake
For he was in his youth the smartest of cats
But no longer a terror to or to rats

For he isn't the cat he was in his prime
Though his name was quite famous, he says, in his
And whenever he his friends at their club
Which place at the back of the neighboring pub

He loves to them, if someone else pays
With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest
For he once was a star of the highest
He has acted Irving, he's acted with Tree

And he to relate his success on the halls
Where the gallery once gave him seven cat
But his creation as he loves to tell
Was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the

I have played in my time possible part
And I used to know seventy by heart
I'd extemporize chat, I knew how to gag
And I how to let the cat out of the bag

I knew how to act with my and my tail
With an hour of rehearsal, I never fail
I'd a voice would soften the hardest of hearts
I took love lead or in character parts

I have sat by the of poor little Nell
When the curfew was then I swung on the bell
In the pantomime season, I never fell
And I once understudied Dick cat
But my grandest creation, as history tell
Was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the

Then, if someone give him a toothful of gin
He will tell how he played a part in East Lynne
At a Shakespeare performance he once on pat
When some actor suggested the for a cat

And I say now kittens, they do not get trained
As we did in the days when Victoria
never get drilled in a regular troupe
And they think, they are smart just to jump a hoop

And he says as he scratches with his claws
Well the is certainly not what is was
These modern are all very well
But there's nothing to equal from what I tell
That moment of when I made history
As Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the

I once crossed the on the telegraph wire
To rescue a when a house was on fire
And I think I still can much better than most
blood curdling noises to bring on the ghost
And I once Growltiger could do it again
Could do it again, do it again
