[N]
I [G] have a Gumby [D] cat in mind.
Her [C] name is Jenny and [D] her [Am] coat is of [Em] the tabby kind [F] with tiger stripes [Gb] and leopard [B] spots.
[Dbm] All [G] day she sits beneath [Gb] the [F] stair or [C] on the stitch [Bm] or on the mat.
She [Am] sits and [Gb] sits and [Em]
sits and sits and [F]
that's what makes a [C] Gumby cat.
That's what makes a [B]
Gumby [Em] cat.
When
[Cm] the [B] day's hustle and bustle is done, then the Gumby [G] cat's work is but [Ab] hardly begun.
[Cm] When all the family's in bed and [Ab] asleep, she tucks up [G] her skirt to the [Ab] basement.
She's deeply concerned [Bb] with the ways of the mice.
Their behavior's not good and their [Cm] manner's not nice.
[Db] So when she has got them lined up on the matting, [G] she teaches them uzi [C] crocheting and catting.

Gumby [E] cat.
[G] [Cm] But when the day's hustle and [Am] bustle is done, [Ab] then the Gumby cat's [G] work is [Cm] but hardly begun.
[C] She thinks that the [Eb] cockroaches just need employment [Ab] to prevent them [G] from [Cm] idling and want to destroy her.
So [Ab] she's born from the lot of [Bb] disorderly louts.
[Eb] A true humble discipline [Ab] to help poor boy scouts.
With [Db] a purpose in life and a good deed to do.
And [G] she's even created a Beatles tattoo.
