Lyrics

[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 & 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 & JELLYLORUM] 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 the 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 [COMPANY] 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 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 the stoutest of cats [COMPANY] It must and it shall be spring in Pall Mall While Bustopher Jones wears white Bustopher Jones wears white Bustopher Jones wears white spats
