With tiger stripes And leopard spots

All day she sits beneath the stair

And that's what makes a Gumbie Cat

But when the day's hustle And bustle is done
可当白日的喧嚣忙碌结束
Then the Gumbie Cat's work Is but hardly begun

And when all the family's In bed and asleep

She tucks up her skirts To the basement to creep

She is deeply concerned With the ways of the mice

Their behaviour's not good And their manners not nice
它们行为不端，举止也不雅
So when she has got them Lined up on the matting
所以当她把它们排列在垫子上时
She teaches them Music, crocheting and tatting
她教它们音乐、钩织和梭编花边
