Jennyanydots: BUSTOPHER JONES IS NOT SKIN AND BONES
Bombalurina: IN FACT HE'S REMARKABLY FAT
Jellylorum: HE DOESN'T HAUNT PUBS
Jennyanydots: HE HAS EIGHT OR NINE CLUBS
All Three: FOR HE'S THE ST. JAMES'S STREET CAT
Jennyanydots: HE'S THE CAT WE ALL GREET AS HE WALKS DOWN THE STREET
IN HIS COAT OF FASTIDIOUS BLACK
Bombalurina: NO COMMONPLACE MOUSERS HAVE SUCH WELL-CUT TROUSERS
Jellylorum: OR SUCH AN IMPECCABLE BACK
Jennyanydots: IN THE WHOLE OF ST. JAMES'S THE SMARTEST OF NAMES
IS THE NAME OF THIS BRUMMELL OF CATS
All Three: AND WE'RE ALL OF US PROUD
TO BE NODDED OR BOWED TO BY
BUSTOPHER JONES IN WHITE SPATS
All Toms: IN THE WHOLE OF ST. JAMES'S THE SMARTEST OF NAMES
IS THE NAME OF THIS BRUMMELL OF CATS
AND WE'RE ALL OF US PROUD
TO BE NODDED OR BOWED TO BY
BUSTOPHER JONES IN WHITE SPATS
Bustopher: MY VISITS ARE OCCASIONAL TO THE SENIOR EDUCATIONAL
AND IT IS AGAINST THE RULES
FOR ANY ONE CAT TO BELONG BOTH TO THAT
AND THE JOINT SUPERIOR SCHOOLS
FOR A SIMILAR REASON, WHEN GAME IS IN SEASON
I'M FOUND NOT AT FOX'S, BUT BLIMP'S
AND I'M FREQUENTLY SEEN AT THE GAY STAGE AND SCREEN
WHICH IS FAMOUS FOR WINKLES AND SHRIMPS
IN THE SEASON OF VENISON, I GIVE MY BEN'SON
TO THE POTHUNTER'S SUCCULENT BONES
AND JUST BEFORE NOON'S NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON
TO DROP IN FOR A DRINK AT THE DRONES
WHEN I'M SEEN IN A HURRY, THERE'S PROBABLY CURRY
AT THE SIAMESE -- OR AT THE GLUTTON
WHEN I LOOK FULL OF GLOOM, THEN I'VE LUNCHED AT THE TOMB
ON CABBAGE, RICE PUDDING, AND MUTTON
All Jellicles: IN THE WHOLE OF ST. JAMES'S THE SMARTEST OF NAMES
IS THE NAME OF THIS BRUMMELL OF CATS
AND WE'RE ALL OF US PROUD
TO BE NODDED OR BOWED TO BY
BUSTOPHER JONES IN WHITE
BUSTOPHER JONES IN WHITE
BUSTOPHER JONES IN WHITE SPATS
Jennyanydots: SO MUCH IN THIS WAY PASSES BUSTOPHER'S DAY
AT ONE CLUB OR ANOTHER HE'S FOUND
IT CAN BE NO SURPRISE THAT UNDER OUR EYES
HE HAS GROWN UNMISTAKABLY ROUND
HE'S A TWENTY-FIVE POUNDER
Bustopher: OR I AM A BOUNDER
Jennyanydots: AND HE'S PUTTING ON WEIGHT EVERY DAY
Bustopher: BUT I'M SO WELL PRESERVED BECAUSE I'VE OBSERVED
ALL MY LIFE A ROUTINE, AND I'D SAY
I AM STILL IN MY PRIME, I SHALL LAST OUT MY TIME
Jennyanydots: THAT'S THE WORD FROM THIS STOUTEST OF CATS
All Jellicles: IT MUST AND IT SHALL
BE SPRING IN PALL MALL
WHILE BUSTOPHER JONES WEARS WHITE
BUSTOPHER JONES WEARS WHITE
BUSTOPHER JONES WEARS WHITE SPATS |
