[00:10.55]The Cat of the Railway Train
[00:15.77]There's a whisper down the line
[00:17.52]At eleven thirty-nine
[00:19.18]When the Night Mail's ready to depart
[00:22.13]Saying Skimble where is Skimble
[00:23.91]Has he gone to hunt the thimble
[00:25.53]We must find him or the train can't start
[00:28.61]All the guards and all the porters
[00:30.16]And the stationmaster's daughters
[00:31.84]Would be searching high and low
[00:35.30]Saying Skimble where is Skimble
[00:37.03]For unless he's very nimble
[00:38.56]Then the Night Mail just can't go
[00:41.83]At eleven forty-two
[00:43.40]With the signal overdue
[00:45.10]And the passengers all frantic to a man
[00:48.33]That's when I would appear
[00:50.99]And I'd saunter to the rear
[00:54.34]I'd been busy in the luggage van
[00:59.72]Then he gave one flash
[01:01.72]Of his glass-green eyes
[01:03.16]And the signal goes All Clear
[01:06.53]They'd be off at last
[01:08.02]To the northern part
[01:09.75]Of the Northern Hemisphere
[01:31.55]Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat
[01:35.82]Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat

[01:48.88]The Cat of the Railway Train
[01:53.84]You could say that by and large
[01:55.85]It was me who was in charge
[01:57.39]Of the Sleeping Car Express
[02:00.56]From the driver and the guards
[02:02.33]To the bagmen playing cards
[02:03.98]I would supervise them all more or less
[02:07.17]I would watch you without winking
[02:08.78]And I see what you were thinking
[02:10.65]And it's certain that I wouldn't approve
[02:13.55]Of hilarity and riot
[02:15.69]So the folk were very quiet
[02:17.98]When Skimble is about and on the move
[02:22.73]You can play no pranks with Skimbleshanks
[02:26.12]I'm a Cat that cannot be ignored
[02:29.52]So nothing goes wrong
[02:31.06]On the Northern Mail
[02:32.84]When Skimbleshanks is aboard
[02:38.45]It's very pleasant
[02:39.33]When you found your little den
[02:40.99]With your name written up on the door
[02:44.33]And the berth is very neat
[02:46.09]With a newly folded sheet
[02:47.70]And not a speck of dust on the floor
[02:51.07]Then the guard looked in politely
[02:52.88]And would ask you very brightly
[02:54.56]Do you like your morning tea
[02:56.00]Weak or strong
[02:57.90]But I was just behind him
[03:00.02]And was ready to remind him
[03:01.86]For Skimble won't let anything go wrong
[03:06.58]When you creep into your cozy berths and pull up the counterpane
[03:13.63]You all could reflect it's very nice
[03:16.96]To know that you won't be bothered by mice
[03:20.01]You can leave all that to the Railway Cat
[03:23.52]The Cat of the Railway Train
[03:26.20]Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat
[03:30.89]The Cat of the Railway Train
[03:35.77]And he gives you a wave
[03:37.71]Of his long brown tail
[03:39.25]Which says I'll see you again
[03:42.48]You'll meet without fail
[03:44.41]On the Midnight Mail

The Cat of the Railway Train
