Skimbleshanks the Railway cat,
A

the cat of the railway train

bagmen playing cards
B
G#m
I would supervise them
A

all more or less
B
Down the corridor he paces
C#m
and examines all the faces
E
A
E
Of the travellers in the first and the third
A
E
He established control
G#m
And he'd know at once
A
E
if anything occured.
He would you watch you without winking
and he saw what you were thinking
And it's certain that he didn't approve
A
E
Of hilarity and riot so that

folk were very quiet
E
F#m
B
and on the move
E
B
You could play no pranks with

And a button you could

When the crept into their cozy berth
