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

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

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

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

Skimbleshanks, the cat
The cat of the train

You say that by and large
It was me who was in
Of the Car Express
the driver and the guards
To the bagmen cards
I would them all, more or less

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

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

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

It was very pleasant when found their little den
With their name up on the door
And the berth was very neat with a newly folded
And not a speck of upon the floor

There was every sort of light, you make it dark or bright
And a you could turn to make a breeze
And a funny little you're supposed to wash your face in
And a crank to shut the window you sneeze

Then the guard looked in and would ask you very brightly
"Do you like morning tea weak or strong?"
But I was right behind him and was to remind him
For Skimble won't let go wrong

When they into their cosy berth
And pulled up the
They all reflect, that it was very nice
To know that they 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 perhaps a drop of while I was keepin' on the watch
Only here and there to catch a flea

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

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

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

You will meet fail on the Midnight Mail
The cat of the railway
