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
the Night Mail's ready to depart
Saying, "Skimble, where is
Has he gone to the thimble?
We must find him or the train start"

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

At eleven with 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 flash of his 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 train

You say that by and large
It was me who was in
Of the Sleeping Car
From the and the guards
To the bagmen 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 establishes by a regular patrol
And he'd know at once if anything

He watch you without winking
And he saw what you thinking
And certain that he didn't approve
Of hilarity and so that folk were very quiet
When Skimble was about and on the

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

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

There was every of light, you could make it dark or bright
And a button you could turn to make a
And a funny little basin supposed to wash your face in
And a to shut the window should 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 behind him and was ready to him
For Skimble won't let anything go

they crept into their cosy berth
And up the counterpane
They all reflect, that it was very nice
To know 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 train

In the of the night, I was always fresh and bright
Every now and then I'd 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 were fast asleep at Crewe and so they knew
I was walkin' up and down the station
They were sleeping all the while I was at Carlisle
I met the station master with elation

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

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

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