| Are you blind when you’re born? |
| Can you see in the dark? |
| Dare you look at a king? |
| Would you sit on his throne? |
| Can you say of your bite that it’s worse than your bark? |
| Are you cock of the walk when you’re walking alone? |
| Because jellicles are and jellicles do Jellicles do and jellicles would |
| Jellicles would and jellicles can |
| Jellicles can and jellicles do When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet? |
| Are you tense when you sense there’s a storm in the air? |
| Can you find your way blind when you’re lost in the street? |
| Do you know how to go to the heaviside layer? |
| Because jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicles do and jellicles can |
| Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicles do and jellicles can |
| Jellicles can and jellicles do Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant? |
| Familiar with candle, with book, and with bell? |
| Were you Whittington’s friend? |
| The Pied Piper’s assistant? |
| Have you been an alumnus of heaven and hell? |
| Are you mean like a minx? |
| Are you lean like a lynx? |
| Are you keen to be seen when you’re smelling a rat? |
| Were you there when the pharaoh commissioned the Sphinx? |
| If you were, and you are, you’re a jellicle cat |

| We can dive through the air like a flying trapeze |
| We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire |
| We can run up a wall, we can swing through the trees |
| We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire |
| Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicle songs for jellicle cats |

| Can you sing at the same time in more than one key? |
| Duets by Rossini and waltzes by Strauss? |
| And can you (as cats do) begin with a 'C'? |
| That always triumphantly brings down the house? |
| Jellicle cats are queen of the nights |
| Singing at astronomical heights |
| Handling pieces from the 'Messiah' |
| Hallelujah, angelical Choir |
| The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity |
| Round the cathedral rang 'Vivat' |
| Life to the everlasting cat! |
| Feline, fearless, faithful and true |
| To others who do-what |
| Jellicles do and jellicles can |
| Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicle cats sing jellicle chants |
| Jellicles old and jellicles new |
| Jellicle song and jellicle dance |

| Practical cats, dramatical cats |
| Pragmatical cats, fanatical cats |
| Oratorical cats, Delphicoracle cats |
| Skeptical cats, Dispeptical cats |
| Romantical cats, Pedantical cats |
| Critical cats, parasitical cats |
| Allegorical cats, metaphorical cats |
| Statistical cats and mystical cats |
| Political cats, hypocritical cats |
| Clerical cats, hysterical cats |
| Cynical cats, rabbinical cats |

| But the cats are not alone. |
| Humans (the audience) are present |
| in the cats’private world. |
| The cats are at first reluctant and |
| suspicious to include others in their domain. |
| There’s a man over there with a look of surprise |
| As much as to say well now how about that? |
| Do I actually see with my own very eyes |
| A man who’s not heard of a jellicle cat? |
| MAN: |
| What’s a jellicle cat? |
| ALL (Echoing): |
| What’s a jellicle cat? |
