Luyện nghe bài hát Skimbleshanks, The Railway Cat

Skimbleshanks the cat
The cat of the train

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

All the guards and all the
And the station daughters
be searchin' high and low
Saying, "Skimble, is Skimble?
For he's very nimble
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 in the luggage van

he gave one flash of his glass-green eyes
And the signal went clear'
They'd be off at last for the part
of the Hemisphere

Skimbleshanks, the cat
The cat of the train

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 them all, more or less

Down the corridor he paces and examines all the
Of the in the first and the third
He establishes control by a patrol
And he'd know at if anything occurred

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

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

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

There was every sort of light, you could it dark or bright
And a button you could to make a breeze
And a little basin you're supposed to wash 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 your morning 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 cosy berth
And pulled up the
all could reflect, that it was very nice
To know that they wouldn't be by mice
can leave all that to the railway cat
The cat of the train

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 a drop of Scotch while I was keepin' on the watch
Only stopping here and there to a flea

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

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

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

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