SONG: Gus: The Theatre Cat
ARTIST: Andrew Lloyd Webber
From the musical, Cats
D (4 bars)
Gmaj7 D/F# F#7 Bm
Gus is the Cat at the Theatre Door
Em7 A Dsus2 D
His name as I ought to have told you before
Gmaj7 D/F# F#7 Bm
Is really Asparagus, but that's such a fuss
G -- F#m7--Em9--G/A G D
To pronounce that we usually call him just Gus
Gmaj7 D/F# F#7 Bm
His coat's very shabby. He's thin as a rake
Em7 A Dsus2 D
And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake
Gmaj7 D/F# F#7 Bm
Yet he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats
G--F#m7--Em9--G/A G D
But no longer a terror to mice and to rats
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime
G D F#7 Bm
Though his name was quite famous, he says, in his time
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
And whenever he joins his friends at their club
G D F#7 Bm
(Which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub)
Em7 A Dsus2 D
He loves to regale them if someone else pays
Em7 A Dsus2 D
With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
For he once was a star of the highest degree
G D/F# F#7 Bm
He has acted with Irving, he's acted with Tree
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
And he likes to relate his success on the halls
G D/F# F#7 Bm
Where the gallery once gave him seven catcalls
G-- F#m7--Em9--G/A Bm Bm
But his grandest creation as he loves to tell
Em7--F#m7--Gmaj7--G/A Csus2 G D
Was Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell
Gmaj7 D/F# F#7 Bm
"I have played, in my time, every possible part
Em7 A Dsus2 D
And I used to know seventy speeches by heart
Gmaj7 D/F# F#7 Bm
I'd extemporize backchat. I knew how to gag
G -- F#m7--Em9--G/A G D
And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag
Gmaj7 D/F# F#7 Bm
I knew how to act with my back and my tail
Em7 A Dsus2 D
With an hour of rehearsal, I never could fail
Gmaj7 D/F# F#7 Bm
I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts
G--F#m7-Em9-G/A G D
Whether I took the lead, or in character parts
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell
G D/F# F#7 Bm
When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
In the pantomime season I never fell flat
G D/F# F#7 Bm
And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat
G-- F#m7--Em9--G/A Bm Bm
But my grandest creation as history will tell
Em7--F#m7--Gmaj7--G/A Csus2 G/B D
Was Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell
D D D
D C#/A D D
Then if someone will give him a toothful of gin
A7sus/E A7 D D
He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne
D C#/A D D
At a Shakespeare performance he once walked on pat
D A E7 A
When some actor suggested the need for a cat
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
"And I say now these kittens, they do not get trained
G D/F# F#7 Bm
As we did in the days when Victoria reigned
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
They never get drilled in a regular troupe
G D/F# F#7 Bm
And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop"
Em7 A Dsus2 D
And he says as he scratches himself with his claws
Em7 A Dsus2 D
"Well, the theatre is certainly not what it was
G D/F# Em D/F#
These modern productions are all very well
G D/F# F#7 B
But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell
G--F#m7--Em9--G/A Bm Bm
That moment of mystery when I made history
Em7--F#m7--Gmaj6-G/A Csus2 G
As Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell"
D
(Reprise)
"I once crossed the stage on a telegraph wire
To rescue a child when a house was on fire
And I think that I still can much better than most
Produce blood-curdling noises to bring on the ghost
And I once played Growltiger
Could do it again
Could do it again
Could do it again . . ."
