Oh, dear it looks like it might be down to my fading memory. For some reason, this is one of those songs I can only remember slowly and backwards. I have dug up most of the preceeding verse now. I will keep trying!

But when twenty years had passed away
Came an old, old man and his cat so grey
And they'd come to claim their silver pound
For they'd danced the world around

Then the Mayor got up, and the council too
And they quickly asked "Now who are you?
With your ..
And your battered(?) hat?
And your ragged clothes
And your dancing cat?

====== There's another stray bit floating around as well

And the ju-ju men ran away in fear
As the twirling man and his cat drew near
