Luyện nghe bài hát Skimbleshanks, The Railway Cat

Skimbleshanks the cat
The cat of the train

There's a whisper down the line at eleven
When the Mail's ready to depart
Saying, "Skimble, is Skimble?
Has he to hunt the thimble?
We find him or the train can't start"

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

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

Then he gave one flash of his eyes
And the signal went 'All
They'd be off at last for the northern
of the Northern

Skimbleshanks, the cat
The cat of the railway

You say that by and large
It was me who was in
Of the Sleeping Car
From the driver and the
To the bagmen cards
I would supervise them all, 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 occurred

He would you without winking
And he saw what you were
And certain that he didn't approve
Of and riot so that folk were very quiet
When was about and on the move

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

It was very pleasant they'd 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 dust the floor

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

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

When they crept into their berth
And pulled up the
They all could reflect, it was very nice
To know they wouldn't be bothered by mice
can leave all that to the railway cat
The cat of the train

Skimbleshanks, the cat
The cat of the train

In the watches of the night, I was always and bright
Every now and then I'd a cup of tea
With a drop of Scotch while I was keepin' on the watch
Only stopping here and there to catch a

They were fast asleep at and so they never knew
I was walkin' up and down the station
They were sleeping all the while I was at Carlisle
Where I met the station master elation

They might see me at Dumfries if I by police
If there was anything they ought to know
When they got to Gallowgate there they did not to wait
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 fail on the Midnight Mail
The cat of the train

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