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
the Night Mail's ready to depart
Saying, "Skimble, where is
Has he gone to hunt the
We must him or the train can't start"

All the guards and all the
And the station daughters
Would be high and low
Saying, "Skimble, is Skimble?
For unless very nimble
Then the Night Mail just go"

At forty-two with the signal overdue
And the all frantic 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 flash of his eyes
And the signal 'All clear'
They'd be off at for the northern part
of the Hemisphere

Skimbleshanks, the cat
The cat of the railway

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

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

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

You could play no with Skimbleshanks
He's a cat that be ignored
So nothing went wrong on the Northern
When was aboard

It was very pleasant when they'd found little den
With their 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 could make it or bright
And a you could turn to make a breeze
And a little basin you're supposed to wash your face in
And a crank to shut the window you sneeze

the guard looked in politely and would ask you very brightly
"Do you your morning tea weak or strong?"
But I was right him and was ready to remind him
For Skimble let anything 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 to the railway cat
The cat of the railway

Skimbleshanks, the cat
The cat of the railway

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

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

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 Skimbleshanks would help to get out

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

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