歌曲名 Gus: The Theatre Cat(From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats")

歌手名 Ian McKellen

Gus is the Cat at the theatre door

My name as I ought to have told you before is really Asparagus

But that's such a fuss to pronounce

That we usually call him just Gus

My coat's very shabby and thin as a rake

And I suffers from palsy which makes my paw shake

Yet I was in my youth quite the smartest of Cats

But no longer a terror to mice or to rats

For I'm not a Cat that I was in my prime

Though my name was quite famous

The says in my time

And whenever my joins my friends at their club

Which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub

I loves to regale them if someone else pays

With anecdotes drawn from my palmiest days

For my once was a star of they higmyst degree

I have acted with Irving I have acted with Tree

And I likes to relate my success on the halls

Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls

But my greatest creation as I loves to tell

Was Firefrorefiddle the Fiend of the Fell

Then if someone will give me a toothful of gin

I will tell how I once played a part in East Lynne

At a Shakespeare performance I once walked on pat

When some actor suggested the need for a cat

And I say now these kittens

Hey do not get trained

As we did in the days when Victoria reigned

They do not get drilled in a regular troupe

And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop

And I says as I scratches myself with my claws

Well the theatre is certainly not what it was

These modern productions they're all very well

But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell

That moment of mystery when I made history

As Firefrorefiddle the Fiend of the Fell
