Luyện nghe bài hát Skimbleshanks, The Railway Cat

Skimbleshanks the cat
The cat of the railway

There's a whisper down the line at eleven
When the Night Mail's 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 station daughters
be searchin' high and low
Saying, "Skimble, where is
For unless very nimble
Then the Night just can't go"

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

Then he gave one of his glass-green eyes
And the signal went clear'
They'd be off at for the northern part
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
From the and the guards
To the playing cards
I would supervise all, more or less

Down the corridor he and examines all the faces
Of the in the first and the third
He establishes by a regular patrol
And he'd know at once if anything

He would watch you without
And he saw you were thinking
And it's certain he didn't approve
Of hilarity and riot so that folk were quiet
Skimble was about and on the move

You could no pranks with Skimbleshanks
a cat that couldn't be ignored
So nothing went wrong on the Northern
Skimbleshanks was aboard

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

There was every sort of light, you make it dark or bright
And a button you could turn to make a
And a funny little basin you're supposed to your face in
And a crank to shut the window should you

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

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

Skimbleshanks, the cat
The cat of the railway

In the of the night, I was always fresh and bright
Every now and I'd have a cup of tea
With perhaps a drop of Scotch while I was on the watch
Only stopping here and there to a flea

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

They might see me at if I summoned by police
If there was anything they ought to know
When they got to Gallowgate there they did not have to
For Skimbleshanks would them to get out

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

You will meet without fail on the Mail
The cat of the railway
