Gyp The Cat Lyrics Artist(Band):Bobby Darin
Where those bayou's wind And them gators swim Sometime late last night When the moon was dim Someone left this life Much against his will And while Gyp the Cat was alibi-in' You know his clothes were dryin' Down on Bourbon Street Where the tourists roam Some big financier Travelin' far from home Lost his fancy watch And his wallet too But while to his story Gyp was stickin' His new watch kept tickin' There's a blown out safe Down in City Hall Standin' open wide Up against the wall And though Gyp the Cat Has got a lot of dough Is the money his? Or plot or blunder? Gyp says "go and wonder" There's a fishing fleet Anchored in the bay Everybody knows Shrimps and oysters pay But when Gyp the Cat Was refused his share Somehow nets got cut And the take was way off Til Gyp got his payoff The legend goes That they buried him But nobody knows That he had a twin And at the services Everybody cried 'septin' one peculiar smilin' mourner Pickin' pockets off in a corner While they set his brother in the ground Get the feeling Gyp is still around If you find some error in Gyp The Cat Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Gyp The Cat Gyp v Mack | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/8/2007 Personally, I like Mack better, but that doesn't at all mean I DISlike Gyp in any way. Is this review helpful to you? Yes No Mack's long lost twin... | Reviewer: Rhett | 5/9/2006 This is one of those hidden gems, which can aptly describe a lot of what Bobby Darrin's career amounted to. "Gyp, the Cat" is nearly a twin to Mack the Knife. They share the same simple strumming beginning; both build to a rousing finish; and both tell the story of a ne'er do well with hip names. Yet somehow Mack got famous and Gyp was largely lost to history. In fact, they both share identical meter and tempo. Try singing one over the other and you'll see what I'm talking about. Lyrically, I think I actually prefer Gyp to Mack. The rhymes are more fun and the song has a more playful quality to it. Either way, how can you go wrong? Is this review helpful to you? Yes No backing track please | Reviewer: harold | 4/17/2006 The more i play it th higher i rate it. One of Bobby's best Mack and gyp make a great pair Is this review helpful to you?
