[00:07.54]	Gus is the cat at the theatre door
[00:13.12]	His name is l ought to have told you before
[00:18.58]	ls really Asparagus
[00:21.81]	but that's such a fuss to pronounce
[00:25.60]	That we usually call him just Gus
[00:31.54]	His coat's very shabby. He's thin as a rake
[00:37.10]	And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake
[00:42.67]	Yet he was in his youth, quite the smartest of cats
[00:48.40]	But no longer a terror to mice or to rats
[00:55.50]	For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime
[01:00.30]	Though his name was quiet famous, he says in his time
[01:06.89]	And when ever he joins his friends at their club
[01:12.80]	Which takes place at the back of the neighboring pub
[01:17.73]	He loves to regale them if someone else pays
[01:23.63]	With anecdotes drawn from his palmist days
[01:28.74]	For he once was a star of the highest degree
[01:33.80]	He has acted with lrving
[01:36.80]	he has acted with Tree
[01:40.16]	And he likes to relate his success on the halls
[01:45.28]	Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls
[01:51.85]	But his grandest creation as he loves to tell
[02:00.53]	was Firefrofiddle, the fiend of the fell
[02:16.11]	l have played in my time every possible part
[02:26.48]	And l used to know seventy speeches by heart
[02:33.30]	l'd extemporise back chat l knew how to gag
[02:40.94]	And l knew how to let the cat out of the bag
[02:46.57]	l knew how to act with my back and my tail
[02:53.15]	With an hour of rehearsal l never could fail
[02:59.60]	l'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts
[03:05.10]	Whether l took the lead
[03:08.21]	Or in character parts
[03:12.30]	l have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell
[03:17.69]	When the curfew was rung, then l swung on the bell
[03:22.68]	ln the pantomime season l never fell flat
[03:26.98]	And l once under-studied Dick Whittington's cat
[03:33.16]	But the grandest creation as history will tell
[03:40.82]	was Firefrofiddle, the fiend of the fell
[03:52.29]	Then if someone will give him a toothful of gin
[03:56.63]
[04:01.36]	At a Shakespeare performance he once walked on pat
[04:05.39]	When some actor suggested the need for a cat
[04:11.59]	And l say that these kittens
[04:14.44]	They do not get trained as we did in the days
[04:16.81]	When Victoria reigned
[04:22.38]	They never get drilled in a regular troupe
[04:27.10]	And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop
[04:31.98]	And he says as he scratches himself with his claws
[04:37.90]	Well, the theatre is certainly not what it was
[04:45.10]	These modern productions are all very well
[04:50.66]	But there's nothing to equal from what l hear tell
[04:57.56]	That moment of mystery
[05:02.43]	When l made history as Firefrofiddle
[05:11.75]	the fiend of the fell《
[05:25.40]	These modern productions are all very well

[00:07.54]	咖斯，剧院门前的猫
[00:13.12]	他的名字，我必须让你事先知晓
[00:18.58]	他本叫亚斯帕拉咖斯
[00:21.81]	但这是个拗口的名字
[00:25.60]	所以我们通常叫他，咖斯
[00:31.54]	他的衣服破旧，身体像耙子一样瘦
[00:37.10]	他承受着病痛的折磨，爪子不停的颤抖
[00:42.67]	然而在他年轻之时，拥有绝佳的才华
[00:48.40]	可现在，连鼠辈们都不再怕他
[00:55.50]	他不再是当年的那只猫
[01:00.30]	他曾经声名显赫，那是他最美好的年华
[01:06.89]	那时他总是和朋友们欢聚一堂
[01:12.80]	总是出没在附近的酒吧
[01:17.73]	如果有人请客，他开口便夸
[01:23.63]	同时高谈阔论，他那往昔佳话
[01:28.74]	他曾是炙手可热的名角
[01:33.80]	他合作过演员欧文
[01:36.80]	也曾和催伊联袂
[01:40.16]	他把一切的成功，都归于舞台
[01:45.28]	回廊里响彻着七次喵声的喝彩
[01:51.85]	然而他最为津津乐道的
[02:00.53]	就是费尔福菲多，《山丘之魔》（英格兰北部的山丘）
[02:16.11]	我尽力尝试过大部分角色
[02:26.48]	七十段的独白我也熟路轻车
[02:33.30]	即兴的对白我能打回圆场
[02:40.94]	我也能巧妙的把戏眼言说
[02:46.57]	我能用背影和尾巴施展演技
[02:53.15]	一小时的排练也不出差错
[02:59.60]	我能用温柔的话语打动最冷漠的心
[03:05.10]	无论领衔主演
[03:08.21]	还是剧中配角
[03:12.30]	我就坐在那可怜的小孩身旁
[03:17.69]	当宵禁的时刻一到，我就把那钟声敲响
[03:22.68]	圣诞话剧我从来没演砸过
[03:26.98]	我也曾客串过惠廷顿的猫（1936年动画《迪克·惠廷顿的猫》）
[03:33.16]	但历史会铭记我最伟大的角色
[03:40.82]	那就是费尔福菲多，《山丘之魔》
[03:52.29]	如果谁能让他抿一口杜松子酒
[03:56.63]	He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne他就能讲讲他在《伊斯特·琳妮》中的角色（1931年美国电影）
[04:01.36]	在莎士比亚的作品中他饰演过宠物
[04:05.39]	因为有演员建议剧中要加一只猫
[04:11.59]	我就说，那些普通的猫咪
[04:14.44]	从没在维多利亚的时代
[04:16.81]	经过专业的训练
[04:22.38]	也没经过巡演来锤炼表演的技能
[04:27.10]	他们以为跳个圈圈就算很厉害
[04:31.98]	他一边抓痒一边诉说
[04:37.90]	唉，这剧院已经不比往日了
[04:45.10]	这些新的作品甚是精妙
[04:50.66]	但还是无法跟我所说的相比较
[04:57.56]	那些美妙的时光啊……
[05:02.43]	我演活了费尔福菲多
[05:11.75]	山丘之魔》
[05:25.40]	这些新的作品甚是精妙
[05:34.14]	但还是无法跟我所说的相比较
[05:42.54]	那些美妙的时光啊！
[05:48.10]	When l made hist...我创造了……
