《Old Deuteronomy》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Deuteronomy - The Theatreland Chorus

[00:00:00] Written by：Lloyd Webber/Eliot

[00:00:06] Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time

[00:00:11] He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession

[00:00:16] He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme

[00:00:22] A long while before queen Victoria's accession

[00:00:28] Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives

[00:00:33] And more I am tempted to say ninety nine

[00:00:39] And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives

[00:00:45] And the village is proud of him in his decline

[00:00:50] At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy

[00:00:56] When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall

[00:01:02] The oldest inhabitant croaks

[00:01:06] Well of all things can it be really

[00:01:13] Yes no ho hi oh my eye

[00:01:19] My mind may be wandering but I confess

[00:01:24] I believe it is old Deuteronomy

[00:01:30] Well of all things can it be really

[00:01:36] Yes no ho hi oh my eye

[00:01:42] My legs may be tottery I must go slow

[00:01:47] And be careful of old Deuteronomy
