Luyện nghe bài hát Skimbleshanks, The Railway Cat

Skimbleshanks the cat
The cat of the train

a whisper down the line at eleven thirty-nine
When the Night Mail's to depart
Saying, "Skimble, where is
Has he to hunt the thimble?
We must find him or the train start"

All the and all the porters
And the station master's
Would be high and low
Saying, "Skimble, is Skimble?
For he's very nimble
Then the Night Mail can't go"

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

Then he gave one flash of his eyes
And the went 'All clear'
be off at last for the northern part
of the Northern

Skimbleshanks, the cat
The cat of the railway

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

the corridor he paces and examines all the faces
Of the in the first and the third
He establishes control by a patrol
And he'd at once if anything 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 folk were very quiet
When Skimble was and on the move

You could play no with Skimbleshanks
He's a cat couldn't be ignored
So nothing went wrong on the Mail
When Skimbleshanks was

It was very pleasant when found their little den
their name written up on the door
And the was very neat with a newly folded sheet
And not a of dust upon the floor

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

Then the guard in politely and would ask you very brightly
"Do you like your tea weak or strong?"
But I was right behind him and was to remind him
For Skimble let anything go wrong

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

Skimbleshanks, the cat
The cat of the train

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

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

They might see me at Dumfries if I summoned by
If there was anything they ought to about
When they got to Gallowgate there they did not to wait
For Skimbleshanks help them to get out

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

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