Luyện nghe bài hát Gus, The Theatre Cat

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

His coat's very shabby, he's thin as a
And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw
For he was in his youth quite the smartest of
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 he joins his friends at their club
Which takes at the back of the neighboring pub

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

And he likes to relate his on the halls
Where the gallery once gave him cat calls
But his greatest creation as he loves to
Was Firefrorefiddle, the of the fell

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

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

I have sat by the bedside of poor Nell
When the curfew was rung then I on the bell
In the pantomime season, I fell flat
And I once understudied Whittington's cat
But my grandest creation, as history tell
Was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the

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

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

And he says as he scratches himself with his
Well the theater is not what is was
These productions are all very well
But there's nothing to equal what I hear tell
That moment of mystery when I made
As Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the

I once crossed the stage on the telegraph
To rescue a child a house was on fire
And I that I still can much better than most
Produce curdling noises to bring on the ghost
And I once played could do it again
do it again, could do it again
