But when the days hustle and bustle is done then
The Gumbie Cat's work has but hardly begun
And when all the family's in bed and asleep
She tucks up her skirt to the basement to creep
She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice

Their behaviour's not good and their manner's not nice!
So when she has got them lined up on the matting
She teaches them
Music, crotcheting and tatting

I have a Gumbie Cat in mind
Her name is Jennyanydots
A curtain cord she likes to wind
And tie it into sailor knots
She sits upon the windowsill
Or anything thats smooth and flat
She sits and sits and sits and sits
And that's what makes a Gumbie Cat
That's what makes a Gumbie Cat!

But when the day's hustle and bustle is done then
The Gumbie Cat's work has but hardly begun
She thinks that the coackroaches

Just need employment!
To prevent them from
Idle and wanton destroyment!
So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts
A troop of well-disciplined helpful boy scouts
With a purpose in mind and a good deed to do!
And she's even created a Beetles Tattoo!

For she's a jolly good fellow!
Thank you my dears!
