All the guards and all the porters and the stationmaster's daughters Would be searching high and low Saying "Skimble, where is Skimble for unless he's very nimble Then the night mail just can't go" At eleven forty-two with the signal overdue And the passengers all frantic to a man That's when I would appear and I'd saunter to the rear I'd been busy in the luggage van! Then he gave one flash of his glass-green eyes And the signal went "All clear!" They'd be off at last for the northern part of the northern hemisphere! Skimbleshanks, the railway cat, the cat of the railway train You might say that by and large it was me who was in charge Of the sleeping car express From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards I would supervise them all more or less Down the corridor he paces and examines all the faces Of the travellers in the first and the third He established control by a regular patrol And he'd know at once if anything occurred He would watch you without winking and he saw what you were thinking And it's certain that he didn't approve Of hilarity and riot so that folk were very quiet When Skimble was about and on the move You could play no pranks with Skimbleshanks He's a cat that couldn't be ignored So nothing went wrong on the northern mail When Skimbleshanks was aboard It was very pleasant when they'd found their little den With their name written up on the door And the berth was very neat with a newly folded sheet on And not a speck of dust on the floor There was every sort of light you could make it dark or bright And a button you could turn to make a breeze And a funny little basin you're supposed to wash your face in And a crank to shut the window should you sneeze Then the guard looked in politely and would ask you very brightly "Do you like your morning tea weak or strong?" But I just behind him and was ready to remind him For Skimble won't let anything go wrong When they crept into their cozy berth and pulled the counterpane They ought to reflect that it was very nice To know that they wouldn't be bothered by mice They can leave all that to the railway cat The cat of the railway train Skimbleshanks, the railway cat, the cat of the railway train In the watches of the night I was always fresh and bright Every now and then I'd have a cup of tea With perhaps a drop of scotch while I was busy keeping on the watch Only stopping here and there to catch a flea They were fast asleep at Crewe And so they never knew that I was walking up and down the station They were sleeping all the while I was busy at Carlisle Where I met the stationmaster with elation They might see me at Dumfries if I summoned the police If there was anything they ought to know about When they got to Gallowgate there they did not have to wait For Skimbleshanks will help them to get out And he gives you a wave of his long brown tail Which says, "I'll see you again" You'll meet without fail on the midnight mail The cat of the railway train You'll meet without fail on the midnight mail The cat of the railway train Related Lyrics Random lyrics: The First Man You Remember, The Invitation To The Jellicle Ball, The Jellicle Ball, The Journey To The Heaviside Layer, The Last Supper, The Mirror Angel Of Music, The Moments Of Happiness, The Music Of The Night, The Naming Of Cats, The Old Gumbie Cat, The Pekes And The Pollicles, The phantom of the opera, The Point Of No Return, The Rum Tug Tugger, The Rum Tum Tigger, The Temple, Think Of Me, Think Of Me (Phantom), This Jesus Must Die, Those Canaan Days, Trial Before Pilate, Trial Before Pilate Including The 39 Lashes, Unexpected Song, Whats The Buzz, Whats The Buzz Strange Things Mystifying, Whistle Down The Wind, Whos The Thief?, Whos The Thief, Wishing you were phantom, Wishing You Were Some, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, You Must Love Me, Its Time To Say I Love You, Love Is A Many Splendoured Thing, Somewhere My Love, The Green Leaves Of Summer, Whos Making Love, The Shadow Of Your Smile, Americas Veins, In Context Of The Moon, Oh War, Battle Scar, Blowing the Blues Away, Blue River Liquor Shine, Check, Diamonds, Diamonds, Gravity, Let Go The Line, Million Vacations, Paradise Skies, Other Webber Andrew Lloyd song Lyrics All I Ask Of You Lyrics All i ask of you phanton of the opera Lyrics And The We Are Decided Lyrics Angel Of Music Lyrics Any Dream Will Do Lyrics Anything But Lonely Lyrics Benjamin Calypso Lyrics Bustopher Jones Lyrics Close Every Door Lyrics Could We Start Again, Please Lyrics Crucifixion Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics Webber Merrily Lyrics Webster Francis Paul Lyrics Webster Mandel Lyrics Webster Max Lyrics Webster Nikki Lyrics Wedding Parties Anything Lyrics Wedding Present Lyrics Weddings Parties Anything Lyrics Wedgee Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
