Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have a gumbie cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots
Her coat is of the tabby kind with tiger stripes and leopard spots
All day she sits upon the stairs or on the step or on the mat
She sits and sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a gumbie cat
That's what makes a gumbie cat
[Verse 2]
But when the day's hustle and bustle is done
Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun
And when all the family's in bed and asleep
I tuck up my skirts, to the basement to creep
[Verse 3]
I am deeply concerned with the ways of the mice
Their behavior's not good and their manner's not nice
So when I have got them lined up on the matting
I teach them music, crocheting and tatting
[Verse 4]
I have a gumbie cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots
The curtain cord she likes to wind and tie it into sailor knots
She sits upon the windowsill or anything that's smooth and flat
She sits and sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a gumbie cat
That's what makes a gumbie cat
[Verse 5]
But when the day's hustle and bustle is done
Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun
I think that the cockroaches need employment
To prevent them from idle and wanton destroyment
So I formed from that lot of disorderly louts
A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts
With a purpose in life and a good deed to do
And I've even created a beetles tattoo
[Verse 6]
(So for old gumbie cats, let's now give three cheers)
(On the well-ordered households)
(Dependable years, three cheers, three cheers, three cheers)
Thank you my dears
