The Old Gumbie Cat - CATS

Munkustrap introduces Jennyanydots who sleeps and lounges all
day long. But at night, she becomes a super-active nanny. She 
instructs the mice in music and crochet work, and keeps the 
cockroaches busy. The cats take this opportunity to dress up with 
Jenny and perform an exuberant tap dance.

SOLO: 
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 beneath the stairs or on the steps or on the mat 
She sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a gumbie cat 
That's what makes a gumbie cat 

FEMALE CATS: 
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 
She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep 

She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice 

JENNYANYDOTS: 
Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice 

So when she has got them lined up on the matting 
She teaches them music, crocheting and tatting 

SOLO: 
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 that's what makes a gumbie cat 
That's what makes a gumbie cat 

FEMALE CATS: 
But... 
When the day's hustle and bustle is done 
Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun 
She thinks that the cockroaches need employment 
To prevent them from idle and wanton destroyment 
So she's 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 she's even created a beetles tattoo! 

For she's a jolly good fellow! 

JENNYANYDOTS: 
Thank you my dears...
