Elliot [00:09.05]Composed by：Andrew Lloyd Webber/T.S. Elliot [00:13.58]Gus is the Cat at the theatre door [00:20.01]My name as I ought to have told you before [00:24.38]Is really Asparagus but that's such a fuss to pronounce [00:30.31]That they usually call me just Gus [00:36.63]My coat's very shag I'm thin as a rake [00:41.79]And I suffer from palsy which makes my paw shake [00:46.99]Yet I was in my youth quite the smartest of cats [00:52.53]Though no longer a terror to mice or to rats [00:58.47]For I'm not the cat that I was in my prime [01:03.29]Though my name was quite famous they say in my time [01:08.63]And whenever I join my friends at their club [01:12.86]Which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub [01:18.18]I love to regale them if someone else pays [01:23.87]With anecdotes drawn from my palmiest days [01:29.37]For I once was a star of the highest degree [01:35.17]I have acted with Irving [01:40.73]I've acted with Tree [01:45.55]And I like to relate my success on the halls [01:50.02]When the gallery once gave me seven cat calls [01:56.68]But my grandest creation as I love to tell [02:02.77]Was Firefrorefiddle the Fiend of the Fell [02:14.48]Ahh hahahahahah [02:24.05]Then if someone will give me a toothful of gin [02:27.79]I will tell how I once played a part in East Lynne [02:32.24]In a Shakespeare performance I once walked on pat [02:36.04]When some actor suggested the need for a cat [02:42.37]And I say now these kittens they do not get trained [02:47.83]As they did in the days when Victoria reigned [02:52.87]They do not get drilled in the regular troupe [02:56.71]And they think it is smart just to jump through a hoop [03:02.67]And I say as I scratch myself with my claws [03:09.08]Well the theatre is certainly not what it was [03:16.36]These modern productions are all very well [03:20.83]But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell [03:27.74]That moment of mystery when I made history [03:37.65]As Firefrorefiddle the Fiend of the Fell
