Cats the movie/ musical it’s now Skimbleshanks turn to do his number and he is a train conductor and he wears a red hat with red overalls and brown tap shoes he is very talented at ballet and tap I couldn’t fit all of it so there’s part up here and part down there Munkustrap: *singing* skimbleshanks the railway cat, the cat of the railway trainnn! There’s a whisper down the line at 11:39 when the night mails ready to depart, saying skimble where is skimble?! Because he can’t come to the thimble we must find him or the train can’t start. All the guards and all the porters or the staiton masters 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! Its 11:42 and the signals over due the passengers are frantic to a man Skimbleshanks: thats when I would appear and I’d saunter to the rear and I’d been busy in the luggage vannn! Then he gives one flash of his glass green eyes And the signal goes all clear! Then we’re off at last for the northern part of the northern hemisphere!!!, *tap dancing* everyone: Skimbleshanks the railway cat! Skimbleshanks! Skimbleshanks the railway cat, the cat of the railway train! Skimbleshanks:You could say that by a large it was me who was in charge of the sleeping car express from the driver and the guards to the bagman playing cards. I would supervise them all or less. I will watch you 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 on the moveee! Everyone: You can play no pranks with Skimbleshanks Skimbleshanks: I’m a cat that cannot be ignored Everyone: so nothing goes wrong with the northern mail when Skimbleshanks is aboard. *tapping with music* Skimbleshanks: oh it’s very pleasant when you’ve found your little den, with your name written up on the door *woohoo* and the birth is very neat with a newly folded
