[00:03.81]Sarah
[00:03.93]Gus is the cat at the theatre door
[00:09.21]His name, as I ought to have told you before
[00:15.63]Is really Asparagus, but that's a fuss to pronounce
[00:23.52]That we usually call him just Gus
[00:29.22]His coat's very shabby, he's thin as a rake
[00:36.60]And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake
[00:42.00]For he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats
[00:49.38]But no longer a terror to mice or to rats
[00:56.46]For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime
[01:02.97]Though his name was quite famous, he says, in his time
[01:09.93]And whenever he joins his friends at their club
[01:15.90](Which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub)
[01:23.10]He loves to regale them, if someone else pays
[01:29.55]With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days
[01:35.91]For he once was a star of the highest degree
[01:44.07]He has acted with Irving, he's acted with Tree
[01:48.36]And he likes to relate his success on the halls
[01:54.30]Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls
[02:01.29]But his grandest creation as he loves to tell
[02:08.91]Was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell
[02:11.88]Sir John
[02:23.52]I have played in my time every possible part
[02:31.98]And I used to know seventy speeches by heart
[02:39.81]I'd extemporize backchat, I knew how to gag
[02:47.37]And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag
[02:54.93]I knew how to act with my back and my tail
[03:05.31]With an hour of rehearsal, I never could fail
[03:08.70]I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts
[03:15.60]Whether I took the lead, or in character parts
[03:23.28]I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell
[03:29.79]When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell
[03:36.42]In the pantomime season, I never fell flat
[03:46.29]And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat
[03:49.14]But my grandest creation, as history will tell
[03:55.44]was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell
[03:56.25]Sarah
[04:12.69]Then, if someone will give him a toothful of gin
[04:17.73]He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne
[04:22.71]At a Shakespeare performance he once walked on pat
[04:27.57]When some actor suggested the need for a cat
[04:31.47]Sir John
[04:33.12]And I say now these kittens, they do not get trained
[04:39.30]As we did in the days when Victoria reigned
[04:45.87]They never get drilled in a regular troupe
[04:51.24]And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop
[04:57.54]Sarah
[04:57.66]And he says as he scratches himself with his claws
[05:03.18]Sir John
[05:03.42]Well the theatre is certainly not what is was
[05:09.72]These modern productions are all very well
[05:16.23]But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell
[05:25.83]That moment of mystery when I made history
[05:40.14]As Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell
