Bustopher Jones: The Cat About Town

Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones,
In fact he's remarkably fat.
He doesn't hount pubs-he has eight or nine clubs,
For he's the St. James's street cat!
He is the cat we all greet as he walks down the street,
in his coat of fastilious black.
No common-pace mousers have such well-cut trousers,
or such well impeccable back.

In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is
The name of this brummel of cats.
And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to
By Bustopher Jones in white spats.

My visits are occasional to the Senior Educational,
And it is against the rules.
For any one cat to belong both to that
And the Joint Superior Schools.

For a similar reason, when game is in season,
I'm found, not at fox but Blimp's.
I am frequently seen at the Gay Stage and Screen,
which is famous from winkles and shrimps.
In the season of venison I give my Ben'son
to the Pothunter's succulent bones.

And just before noon's, not a moment to soon
to drop in for a drink at the Drones.

When I'm seen in a hurry, there's probably curry
At the Siamese or at the Glutton.
When I look full of gloom then I've lunched at the Tomb.
On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton.

In whole of St.James's the smartest of names
is the name of this brummel of cats.
And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed
to by Bustopher Jones in white,
Bustopher Jones in white, Bustopher Jones is white spats.

So, much in this way, passes pustopher's day
at one club or another his found.
It can be no surprise that under our eyes
he has grown unmistakably round.

He's a twenty-five pounder
Or I am a bounder.

And he's putting on weight every day.

But I'm so well preserved beacuse I've observed
all my life a routine and I'd say.
I am still in my prime, I shall last out my time.

That's the word ofrom this stoutests of cats.

It must and it shall be spring in Pall Mall
while Bustopher Jones wears white, Bustopher Jones wears white,
Bustopher Jones wears white spats.
