剧院门口有只老猫叫格斯 [00:13.90]His name as I ought to have told you before
其实我早该告诉你他的本名 [00:19.66]Is really asparagus but that's a fuss to pronounce
是芦笋这个拗口的名字 [00:26.86]That we usually call him just Gus
所以我们都习惯叫他格斯 [00:32.50]His coat's very shabby he's thin as a rake
他的毛发蓬乱 瘦骨嶙峋 [00:38.02]And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake
颤抖的爪子饱受麻痹之苦 [00:43.75]For he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats
想当年他可是最神气的猫 [00:50.01]But no longer a terror to mice or to rats
但老鼠们不再对他畏惧战栗 [00:56.24]For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime
盛年时的威风早已随风逝去 [01:01.74]Though his name was quite famous he says in his time
虽曾声名显赫 他总这般追忆往昔 [01:08.15]And whenever he joins his friends at their club
每当与老友相聚在俱乐部里 [01:13.26]Which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub
那地方就在隔壁酒馆的后厅 [01:19.20]He loves to regale them if someone else pays
若有人买单 他便滔滔不绝说起 [01:24.86]With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days
那些黄金岁月里的辉煌轶事 [01:29.96]For he once was a star of the highest degree
毕竟他曾是璀璨夺目的巨星 [01:35.10]He has acted with Irving he's acted with Tree
他曾与欧文同台 也曾与特里共演 [01:41.37]And he likes to relate his success on the halls
最爱讲述当年在音乐厅的辉煌 [01:46.38]Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls

我这一生演尽世间百态 [02:22.34]And I used to know seventy speeches by heart
七十段台词烂熟于心 [02:27.77]I'd extemporize backchat I knew how to gag
我能即兴对答 懂得如何抖包袱 [02:33.13]And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag
也深谙如何巧妙透露天机 [02:38.42]I knew how to act with my back and my tail
只需摆动尾巴和脊背就能传神演绎 [02:43.18]With an hour of rehearsal I never could fail
哪怕仅排练一小时也从不失手 [02:48.02]I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts
我的嗓音能让最铁石心肠的人动容 [02:53.39]Whether I took the lead or in character parts
无论担纲主角还是出演配角 [02:59.09]I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell
我曾在小内尔的病榻前守候 [03:04.09]When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell
当宵禁钟声敲响 我便在钟绳上荡悠 [03:09.34]In the pantomime season I never fell flat
在哑剧季里我从未失手过 [03:13.82]And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat
还曾替补出演迪克·惠廷顿的猫 [03:19.93]My grandest creation as history will tell
史册将记载我最伟大的创作 [03:25.44]Was Firefrorefiddle the fiend of the fell

若有人肯赏他一口杜松子酒 [03:43.37]He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne
他就会说起在东林恩演出的往事 [03:47.92]At a Shakespeare performance he once walked on pat
他曾在一场莎剧演出中优雅登场 [03:52.17]When some actor suggested the need for a cat
当某位演员提出需要一只猫时 [03:57.63]Sir John：
约翰爵士： [03:58.54]And I say now these kittens they do not get trained
要我说现在的年轻演员缺乏训练 [04:04.74]As we did in the days when Victoria reigned
不像我们维多利亚时代的严苛打磨 [04:10.02]They never get drilled in a regular troupe
他们从未接受正规剧团的系统训练 [04:14.31]And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop
却自以为跳过铁环就算本事 [04:19.01]Sarah： [04:19.94]And he says as he scratches himself with his claws
他一边用爪子挠着自己 一边说道 [04:25.34]Sir John：
约翰爵士： [04:25.81]Well the theatre is certainly not what is was
唉 如今的剧院早已今非昔比 [04:32.70]These modern productions are all very well
