Luyện nghe bài hát Gus, The Theatre Cat

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

His very shabby, he's thin as a rake
And he from palsy that makes his paw shake
For he was in his youth quite the smartest of
But no longer a terror to mice or to

For he isn't the cat that he was in his
Though his was quite famous, he says, in his time
And whenever he joins his friends at their
takes place at the back of the neighboring pub

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

And he likes to relate his success on the
Where the gallery gave him seven cat calls
But his greatest creation as he to tell
Was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the

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

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

I have sat by the bedside of poor Nell
When the curfew was rung I swung on the bell
In the pantomime season, I never flat
And I understudied Dick Whittington's cat
But my creation, as history will tell
Was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the

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

And I say now kittens, they do not get trained
As we did in the when Victoria reigned
They get drilled in a regular troupe
And they think, are smart just to jump through a hoop

And he says as he scratches himself his claws
Well the theater is certainly not is was
modern productions are all very well
But there's to equal from what I hear tell
That moment of mystery when I history
As Firefrorefiddle, the of the fell

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