[ti:The Ad-Dressing of Cats] [ar:Andrew Lloyd Webber] [al:猫] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Ad-Dressing Of Cats - Andrew Lloyd Webber (安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯) [00:04.78]You've heard of several kinds of cat [00:09.47]And my opinion now is that [00:13.95]You should need no interpreter [00:19.20]To understand our character [00:23.94]You've learned enough to take the view [00:28.68]That cats are very much like you [00:33.44]You've seen us both at work and games [00:38.42]And learnt about our proper names [00:43.33]Our habits and our habitat [00:47.88]But how would you ad-dress a cat [00:57.37]So first your memory I'll jog [01:04.48]And say: A cat is not a dog [01:19.96]Now dogs pretend they like to fight [01:23.96]They often bark more seldom bite [01:28.52]But yet a dog is on the whole [01:33.19]What you would call a simple soul [01:38.06]The usual dog about the town [01:42.86]Is much inclined to play the clown [01:47.54]And far from showing too much pride [01:52.42]Is frequently undignified [01:57.54]He's such an easygoing lout [02:02.15]He'll answer any hail or shout [02:12.26]The usual dog about the town [02:17.13]Is inclined to play the clown [02:21.37]Again I must remind you that [02:28.12]A dog's a dog a cat's a cat [02:38.78]With cats some say one rule is true [02:45.58]Don't speak 'til you are spoken to [02:54.01]Myself I do not hold with that [02:58.56]I say you should ad-dress a cat [03:03.37]But always bear in mind that he [03:07.68]Resents familiarity [03:14.92]You bow and taking off your hat [03:22.03]Ad-dress him in this form:"O' cat" [03:32.89]Before a cat will condescend [03:37.45]To treat you as a trusted friend [03:42.18]Some little token of esteem [03:46.49]Is needed like a dish of cream [03:51.36]And you might now and then supply [03:55.66]Some caviar or Strassburg pie [04:00.03]Some potted grouse or salmon paste [04:04.71]He's sure to have his personal taste [04:09.76]And so in time you reach your aim [04:14.70]And call him by his name [04:24.69]So this is this and that is that [04:32.10]And there's how you ad-dress a cat [04:39.72]A cat's entitled to expect [04:44.90]These evidences of respect [04:49.51]So this is this and that is that [04:57.00]And there's how you ad-dress a cat
