Luyện nghe bài hát Skimbleshanks, The Railway Cat

Skimbleshanks the cat
The cat of the railway

There's a whisper down the line at 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 can't start"

All the and all the porters
And the station daughters
Would be searchin' and low
Saying, "Skimble, where is
For unless very nimble
Then the Night just can't go"

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

Then he gave one flash of his eyes
And the signal went 'All
be off at last 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 Car Express
the driver and the guards
To the playing cards
I would supervise them all, or less

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

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

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

It was very pleasant when they'd their 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 it dark or bright
And a button you could turn to make a
And a funny basin you're supposed to wash your face in
And a crank to shut the should you sneeze

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 they crept into their cosy
And up the counterpane
They all could reflect, that it was nice
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
Every now and then I'd a cup of tea
With perhaps a drop of Scotch while I was keepin' on the
Only stopping here and to catch a flea

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

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

And he gives you a of his long, brown tail
says "I'll see you again"
You will meet fail on the Midnight Mail
The cat of the railway

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