JENNYANYDOTS:

Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones



JELLYLORUM:

In fact, he's remarkably fat

He doesn't haunt pubs



JENNYANYDOTS:

He has eight or nine clubs



BOTH:

For he's the St. James Street cat!



JENNYANYDOTS:

He's the cat we all greet as he walks down the street

In his coat of fastidious black



JELLYLORUM:

No common-place mousers have such well-cut trousers

Or such an impeccable back



JENNYANYDOTS:

In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is

The name of this Brummell of cats



BOTH:

And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to

By Bustopher Jones in white spats



MALE CHORUS:

In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is

The name of this Brummell of cats

And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to

By Bustopher Jones in white spats



BUSTOPHER:

My visits are occasional to the senior educational

And it is against the rules

For any one cat to belong both to that

And the Joint Superior Schools



For a similar reason, when game is in season

I'm found, not at Fox's, but Blimp's

I am frequently seen at the gay Stage and Screen

Which is famous for winkles and shrimps



In the season of venison I give my Benison

To the Pothunter's succulent bones

And just before noon's not a moment too soon

To drop in for a drink at the Drones



When I'm seen in a hurry there's probably curry

At the Siamese or at the Glutton

If I look full of gloom then

I've lunched at the Tomb

On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton



FULL CHORUS:

In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is

The name of this Brummell of cats

And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to

By Bustopher Jones in white,

Bustopher Jones in white,

Bustopher Jones in white spats



JENNYANYDOTS:

So much in this way passes Bustopher's day

At one club or another he's found

It can be no surprise that under our eyes

He has grown unmistakably round

He's a twenty-five pounder



BUSTOPHER:

Or I am a bounder



JENNYANYDOTS:

And he's putting on weight every day



BUSTOPHER:

But I'm so well preserved because I've observed

All my life a routine and I'd say

I am still in my prime, I shall last out my time



JENNYANYDOTS:

That's the word from this stoutest of cats



CHORUS:

It must and it shall be spring in Pall Mall

While Bustopher Jones wears white,

Bustopher Jones wears white,

Bustopher Jones wears white spats
