The Railway Cat
There's a whisper down the line at 11:39 When the Night Mail's ready to depart Saying 'Skimble, where is Skimble, has he gone to hunt the thimble We must find him or the train can't start All the guards and all the porters and the stationmaster's daughters They are searching high and low Saying: 'Skimble, where is Skimble, for unless he's very nimble Then the Night Mail just can't go At 11: 42 then the signal's nearly due And the passengers are frantic, yes they are Then Skimble will appear, and he'll saunter to the rear He's been busy in the luggage car He gives one flash of his glass-green eyes And the signal goes All Clear And we're off at last for the northern part Of the Northern Hemisphere
You may say that by and large it is Skimble who's in charge Of the Sleeping Car Express From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards He will supervise them all, more or less Down the corridor he paces and examines all the faces Of the travellers in the First and in the Third He establishes control by a regular patrol And he'd know at once if anything occurred He will watch you without winking. and he sees what you are thinking And it's certain that he doesn't approve Of hilarity and riot, so the folk are very quiet 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 When Skimble is about and on the move You can play no pranks with Skimbleshanks He's a Cat that cannot be ignored So nothing goes wrong on the Northern Mail When Skimbleshanks is aboard
Oh, it's very pleasant when you've found your little den With your name written up on the door And the berth is very neat with a newly folded sheet And there's not a speck of dust on the floor There is every sort of light - you can make it dark or bright There's a handle that you turn to make a breeze There's a funny little basin you're supposed to wash your face in And a crank to shut the window if you sneeze Then the guard looks in politely and will ask you very brightly Do you like your morning tea weak or strong But Skimble's just behind him and was ready to remind him For Skimble won't let anything go wrong You ought to reflect that it's very nice To know that you won't be bothered by mice You can leave all that to the Railway Cat The Cat of the Railway Train You can leave all that to the Railway Cat The Cat of the Railway Train
Based on a poem by T.S. Elliot
