Песня: Bustopher Jones, the Cat About Town
[Jennyanydots:]
Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones

[Jennyanydots:]
In fact, he's remarkably fat

[Jellylorum:]
He doesn't haunt pubs

[Jennyanydots:]
He has eight or nine clubs

[Both:]
For he's the St. James Street cat!

[Jennyanydots:]
He's the cat we all greet as he walks down the street
In his coat of fastidious black

[Jellylorum:]
No common-place mousers have such well-cut trousers
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

[Both:]
And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to
By Bustopher Jones in white spats

[Male Chorus:]
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:]
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'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 Benison
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
If I look full of gloom then
I've lunched at the Tomb
On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton

[Full Chorus:]
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:]
Or I am a bounder

[Jennyanydots:]
And he's putting on weight every day

[Bustopher:]
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

[Jennyanydots:]
That's the word from this stoutest of cats

[Chorus:]
It must and it shall be spring in Pall Mall
While Bustopher Jones wears white,
Bustopher Jones wears white,
Bustopher Jones wears white spats

Перевод песни:
Бастофер Джонс, светский кот

[Дженнианапятнышкина:]
У Бастофера Джонса не видно рёбер!

[Джеллилорум:]
Напротив, он весьма упитан.

[Дженнианапятнышкина:]
Он не толчётся в пабах —..... [открыть перевод]
