Jennyanydots:
Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones
Bombalurina:
In fact, he’s remarkably fat
Jellylorum:
He doesn’t haunt pubs
Jennyanydots:
He has eight or nine clubs
Jennyanydots, Bombalurina, and Jellylorum:
For he’s the St. James’s Street cat!
Jennyanydots:
He’s the cat we all greet as he walks down the street
In his coat of fastidious black
Bombalurina:
No common-place mousers have such well cut trousers
Jellylorum:
Or such an impeccable back
Jennyanydots:
In the whole of St. James’s the smartest of names is
The name of this Brummell of cats
Jennyanydots, Bombalurina, and Jellylorum:
And we’re all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to
By Bustopher Jones in white spats
All:
In the whole of St. James’s the smartest of names is
The name of this Brummell of cats
And we’re all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to
By Bustopher Jones in white spats
Bustopher Jones:
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 join superior schools
For a similar reason, when game is in season
I’m found, not at Fox’s, but Blimp’s
I am frequently seen at the gay stage and screen
Which is famous for 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 too 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
All:
In the whole of St. James’s the smartest of names is
The name of this Brummell 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 in white spats!
Jennyanydots:
So, much in this way passes Bustopher’s day
At one club or another he’s found
It can be no surprise that under our eyes
He has grown unmistakably round
He’s a twenty-five pounder…
Bustopher Jones:
…or I am a bounder
Jennyanydots:
And he’s putting on weight every day
Bustopher Jones:
But I’m so well preserved, because I’ve observed
All m’life a routine and I’d say
I am still in my prime, I shall last out my time
Jennyanydots:
That’s the word from this stoutest of cats
All:
It must and it shall be spring in Pall Mall
While Bustopher Jones wears white
Bustopher Jones wears white
Bustopher Jones wears white spats
Bustopher Jones:
Toodle pip!
