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
When the Night Mail's to depart
Saying, "Skimble, where is
Has he gone to the thimble?
We find 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
the Night Mail just can't go"

At eleven with the signal overdue
And the passengers all to a man
That's when I appear and I'd saunter to the rear
I'd been in the luggage van

Then he one flash of his glass-green eyes
And the signal 'All clear'
They'd be off at last for the northern
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
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 travelers in the first and the
He establishes control by a regular
And he'd know at once if anything

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

You could play no with Skimbleshanks
a cat that couldn't be ignored
So nothing wrong on the Northern Mail
Skimbleshanks was aboard

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

There was every sort of light, you could make it or bright
And a button you could turn to a breeze
And a funny little basin supposed to wash your face in
And a to shut the window 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 won't let go wrong

When crept into their cosy berth
And pulled up the
They all could reflect, it was very nice
To know that they be bothered by mice
They can all that to the railway cat
The cat of the train

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

They were asleep at Crewe and so they never knew
That I was walkin' up and the station
They were sleeping all the while I was at Carlisle
Where I met the station master with

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

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

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