[ti:Gus: The Theatre Cat] [ar:Cats Cast] [al:猫 音乐剧 (1981百老汇版)] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Gus The Theatre Cat - Andrew Lloyd Webber (安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯) [00:00.63]Gus is the cat at the theatre door [00:07.00]His name as I ought to have told you before [00:13.36]Is really Asparagus [00:17.05]And that's such a fuss to pronounce [00:21.20]That we usually call him just Gus [00:28.05]His coat's very shabby he's thin as a rake [00:34.26]And he suffers from palsy that [00:37.80]Makes his paw shake [00:40.56]Yet he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats [00:47.15]But no longer a terror to mice or to rats [00:54.18]For he isn't bry cat that he was in his prime [01:00.66]Though his name was quite famous [01:04.24]He says in his time [01:07.61]And whenever he joins his friends at their club [01:13.58]Which takes place at the [01:15.56]Back of the neighboring pub [01:20.81]He loves to regale them if someone else pays [01:27.16]With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days [01:33.56]For he once was a star of the highest degree [01:39.37]He has acted with Irving he's acted with Tree [01:46.03]And he likes to relate his success on the halls [01:51.82]Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls [01:59.09]But his greatest creation as he loves to tell [02:06.57]Will's Firefrorefiddle the Fiend of the Fell [02:21.27]I have played in my time every possible part [02:29.64]And I used to know seventy speeches by heart [02:37.50]I'd extemporize backchat I knew how to gag [02:45.02]And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag [02:52.55]I knew how to act with my back and my tail [02:59.52]With an hour of rehearsal I never could fail [03:06.20]I'd a voice that would [03:08.39]Soften the hardest of hearts [03:13.38]Whether I took the lead or in character parts [03:21.01]I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell [03:27.50]When the curfew was rung [03:30.04]Then I swung on the bell [03:33.95]In the pantomime season I never fell flat [03:40.09]And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat [03:46.94]But my greatest creation as history will tell [03:55.06]Was Firefrorefiddle the Fiend of the Fell [04:10.22]And someone will give him a toothful of gin [04:15.38]He will tell how he once played [04:17.99]A part in East Lynne [04:20.22]At a Shakespeare [04:21.64]Performance he once walked on pat [04:25.25]When some actor suggested the need for a cat [04:30.87]And I say now these kittens [04:34.42]They do not get trained [04:36.94]As we did in the days when Victoria reigned [04:43.20]And never get drilled in a regular troupe [04:48.98]And they think they are smart [04:51.62]Just to jump through a hoop [04:55.10]And he says as he scratches himself with his claws [05:01.24]Well the theatre is certainly not what it was [05:07.35]These modern productions are all very well [05:13.58]But there's nothing to equal [05:17.60]From what I hear tell [05:21.34]That moment of mystery when I made history [05:31.13]As Firefrorefiddle the Fiend of the Fell
