Luyện nghe bài hát Skimbleshanks, The Railway Cat

Skimbleshanks the cat
The cat of the train

There's a down the line at eleven thirty-nine
When the Night ready to depart
Saying, "Skimble, is Skimble?
Has he to hunt the thimble?
We find him or the train can't start"

All the guards and all the
And the master's daughters
Would be high and low
Saying, "Skimble, where is
For unless he's very
Then the Night Mail just go"

At eleven forty-two the signal overdue
And the passengers all to a man
That's when I would appear and I'd saunter to the
I'd been busy in the van

Then he gave one of his glass-green eyes
And the signal 'All clear'
They'd be off at last for the northern
of the Northern

Skimbleshanks, the cat
The cat of the railway

You might say that by and
It was me who was in
Of the Sleeping Car
the driver and the guards
To the playing cards
I supervise them all, more or less

Down the corridor he paces and examines all the
Of the travelers in the and the third
He control by a regular patrol
And he'd know at once if occurred

He would watch you winking
And he saw you were thinking
And it's certain he didn't approve
Of hilarity and riot so that folk were quiet
When was about and on the move

You could play no pranks Skimbleshanks
He's a cat that couldn't be
So nothing wrong on the Northern Mail
When Skimbleshanks was

It was very pleasant when they'd their little den
With their name up on the door
And the berth was very with a newly folded sheet
And not a speck of upon the floor

was every sort of light, you could make it dark or bright
And a you could turn to make a breeze
And a funny little basin supposed to wash your face in
And a to shut the window should you sneeze

Then the guard looked in politely and would ask you very
"Do you like morning tea weak or strong?"
But I was right him and was ready to remind him
For Skimble won't let go wrong

When they crept their cosy berth
And pulled up the
They all reflect, that it was very nice
To that they wouldn't be bothered by mice
They can leave all that to the cat
The cat of the railway

Skimbleshanks, the cat
The cat of the train

In the watches of the night, I was always fresh and
Every now and then I'd a cup of tea
With perhaps a drop of while I was keepin' on the watch
Only stopping and there to catch a flea

They were fast at Crewe and so they never knew
That I was walkin' up and the station
They were sleeping all the while I was busy at
Where I met the station master with

They see me at Dumfries if I summoned by police
If there was they ought to know about
When they got to Gallowgate there did not have to wait
For would help them to get out

And he gives you a of his long, brown tail
says "I'll see you again"
You will meet without fail on the Midnight
The cat of the train

You meet without fail on the Midnight Mail
The cat of the train
