    Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat
    The Cat of the Railway Train
    There's a whisper down the line
    At eleven thirty-nine
    When the Night Mail's ready to depart
    Saying, "Skimble, where is Skimble?
    Has he gone to hunt the thimble?
    We must find him or the train can't start!"
    All the guards and all the porters
    And the stationmaster's daughters
    Would be searching high and low
    Saying "Skimble, where is Skimble?
    For unless he's very nimble
    Then the Night Mail just can't go."
    At eleven forty-two
    With the signal overdue
    And the passengers all frantic to a man
    That's when I would appear
    And I'd saunter to the rear
    I'd been busy in the luggage van!
    Then he gives one flash
    Of his glass-green eyes
    And the signal goes "All Clear!"
    And we're off at last
    For the northern part
    Of the Northern Hemisphere!
    Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat
    Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat
    Skimbleshanks
    Skimbleshanks
    Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat
    The Cat of the Railway Train
    You could say that by and large
    It was me who was in charge
    Of the Sleeping Car Express
    From the driver and the guards
    To the bagmen playing cards
    I would supervise them all, more or less
    I will watch without winking
    And I'll see what you are thinking
    And it's certain that I wouldn't approve
    Of hilarity and riot
    So the folk are very quiet
    When Skimble is about and on the move
    You can play no pranks with Skimbleshanks
    I'm a Cat that cannot be ignored!
    So nothing goes wrong
    On the Northern Mail
    When Skimbleshanks is aboard
    Oh, it's very pleasant
    When you've found your little den
    With your name written up on the door (Woo! Woo!)
    And the berth is very neat
    With a newly folded sheet
    And there's not a speck of dust on the floor
    Then the guard looks in politely
    And will ask you very brightly
    "Do you like your morning tea?
    (Weak or strong)
    But I was just behind him
    And was ready to remind him
    For Skimble won't let anything go wrong
    When you creep into your cozy berths and pull up the counterpane
    You ought to reflect that it's very nice
    To know that you won't be bothered by mice
    You can leave all that to the Railway Cat
    The Cat of the Railway Train
    Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat (Skimbleshanks)
    The Cat of the Railway Train
    And he gives you a wave
    Of his long brown tail
    Which says, "I'll see you again!"
    You will meet without fail
    On the Midnight Mail
    The Cat of the Railway Train!
