His name as I ought to have told you before

Is really Asparagus and that's such a fuss to pronounce

That we usually call him just Gus

And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake

Though his name was quite famous he says in his time

And whenever he joins his friends at their club

(Which takes place at the back of the neighboring pub)

He loves to regale them if someone else pays

With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days

I'd extemporize backchat I knew how to gag

With an hour of rehearsal I never could fail

Whether I took the lead or in character parts

When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell

Then if someone will give him a toothful of gin

As we did in the days when Victoria reigned

And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop

And he says as he scratches himself with his claws

Well the theatre is certainly not what it was
毫无疑问，剧院已经改变
These modern productions are all very well

But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell

That moment of mystery when I made history

To rescue a child when a house was on fire
