[00:13.785]Gus is the Cat at the theatre door
[00:20.087]My name, as I ought to have told you before
[00:24.730]Is really Asparagus, but that's such a fuss to pronounce
[00:29.954]That they usually call me just Gus
[00:36.734]My coat's very shag, I'm thin as a rake
[00:41.984]And I suffer from palsy that makes my paw shake
[00:47.288]Yet I was in my youth quite the smartest of cats
[00:52.616]But no longer a terror to mice or to rats
[00:59.086]For I'm not the cat that I was in my prime
[01:03.499]Though my name was quite famous, they say in my time
[01:09.113]And whenever I join my friends at their club
[01:12.869]Which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub
[01:18.831]I loves to regale them if someone else pays
[01:24.054]With anecdotes drawn from my palmiest days
[01:29.456]For I once was a star of the highest degree
[01:34.980]I have acted with Irving, I've acted with Tree
[01:45.747]And I like to relate my success on the halls
[01:50.855]When the gallery once gave me seven cat calls
[01:57.161]But my greatest creation, as I love to tell
[02:03.005]Was Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell
[02:14.739]Ahh, hahahahahah
[02:24.164]Then, if someone will give me a toothful of gin
[02:28.131]I will tell how I once played a part in East Lynne
[02:32.509]In a Shakespeare performance I once walked on pat
[02:36.211]When some actor suggested the need for a cat
[02:42.554]And I say now, these kittens, they do not get trained
[02:48.107]As they did in the days when Victoria reigned
[02:52.992]They do not get drilled in the regular troupe
[02:56.980]And they think it is smart just to jump through a hoop
[03:03.035]And I say as I scratch myself with my claws
[03:09.391]Well, the theatre is certainly not what it was
[03:16.990]These modern productions are all very well
[03:21.494]But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell
[03:28.158]That moment of mystery when I made history
[03:37.971]As Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell
