[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:时间戳工具V2.0_20200810] [offset:0] [05:00.30]Gus is the cat at the theater door [05:01.08]His name as I ought to have told you before [05:01.95]Is really Asparagus and that's such a fuss to pronounce [05:03.27]That we usually call him just Gus [05:04.11]His coat's very shabby He's thin as a rake [05:04.98]And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake [05:06.06]Yet he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats [05:07.20]But no longer a terror to mice or to rats [05:08.43]For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime [05:09.48]Though his name was quite famous he says in his time [05:10.56]And whenever he joins his friends at their club [05:11.64]Which takes place at the back of the neighboring pub [05:12.63]He loves to regale them if someone else pays [05:13.62]With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days [05:14.67]For he once was a star of the highest degree [05:15.66]He has acted with Irving he's acted with tree [05:16.65]And he likes to relate his successes on the halls [05:17.85]Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls [05:18.93]But his greatest creation as he love to tell [05:19.95]Was firefrorefiddle the fiend of the Fell [05:20.88]I have played in my time every possible part [05:21.84]And I used to know seventy speeches by heart [05:22.86]I'd extemporize backchat I knew how to gag [05:24.18]And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag [05:25.20]I knew to act with my back and my tail [05:26.16]With and hour of rehersal I never could fail [05:27.09]I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts [05:28.14]Whether I took the lead or in character parts [05:29.07]I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell [05:30.03]When the curfew was run then I swung on the bell [05:31.08]In the Pantomime Season I never fell flat [05:32.07]And I once understudied d**k Whittington's cat [05:33.15]But my grandest creation as history will tell [05:34.50]Was firefrorefiddle the fiend of the Fell [05:35.34]Then if someone will give him a toothful of gin [05:36.42]He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne [05:37.47]At a Shakespeare performance he once walked on pat [05:38.55]When some actor suggested the need for a cat [05:39.54]And I say now these kittens they do not get trained [05:40.56]As we did in the days when Victoria reigned [05:41.49]They never did get drilled in a regular troup [05:42.54]And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop [05:43.65]And he says as he scratches himself with his claws [05:44.79]Well the theater is certainly not what it was [05:45.75]These modern productions are all very well [05:46.80]But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell [05:48.03]That moment of mystery when I made history [05:49.11]As firefrorefiddle the fiend of the Fell [05:49.95]I once crossed the stage on a telegraph wire [05:50.91]To rescue a child when a house was on fire [05:51.93]And I think that I still can much better than most [05:52.98]Produce blood curdling noises to bring on the ghost [05:54.12]And I once played Growltiger [05:54.90]Could do it again could do it again [05:55.71]Could do it again
