| The next cat to join the proceedings is the hefty Bustopher
|
| Jones. |
| A large twenty-five pounder, always clad in his
|
| signature white spats, Bustopher spends his time eating, eating
|
| and eating in one of the many English pubs and clubs that he frequents. |
| Jennyanydots is quite besauntered with him, and helps
|
| sing his praises. |
| He responds, to her great delight, by kissing
|
| her hand.
|
| Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones
|
| In fact, he’s remarkably fat
|
| He doesn’t haunt pubs, he has eight or nine clubs
|
| For he’s the St. James Street cat!
|
| He’s the cat we all greet as we walk down the street
|
| In his coat of fastidious black
|
| No common-place mousers have such well cut trousers
|
| Or such an impeccable back
|
| 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 joint superior schools
|
| 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 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
|
| 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
|
| And he’s putting on weight every day
|
| BUSTOPHER JONES:
|
| But I’m so well preserved because 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 from this stoutest 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! |
