| The action is intruded by yet another crash from the villainous |
| Macavity, which sends the cats scurrying! |
| Old Deuteronomy soothes |
| them, as they come back one by one. |
| It is time for «The Jellicle |
| Ball,"the great yearly dance in which all of the cats celebrate! |
| ALL: |
| Jellicle cats come out tonight |
| Jellicle cats come one, come all |
| The jellicle moon is shining bright |
| Jellicles come to the jellicle ball |
| SOLO: |
| Jellicle cats are black and white |
| Jellicle cats are rather small |
| Jellicle cats are merry and bright |
| And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul |
| Jellicle cats have cheerful faces |
| Jellicle cats have bright black eyes |
| We like to practice our airs and graces |
| And wait for the jellicle moon to rise |
| Jellicle cats develop slowly |
| Jellicle cats are not too big |
| Jellicle cats are roly poly |
| We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig |
| Until the jellicle moon appears |
| We make our toilette and take our repose |
| Jellicles wash behind their ears |
| Jellicles dry between their toes |
| Jellicle cats are black and white |
| Jellicle cats are of moderate size |
| Jellicles jump like a jumping jack |
| Jellicle cats have moonlit eyes |
| We’re quiet enough in the morning hours |
| We’re quiet enough in the afternoon |
| Reserving our terpsichorean powers |
| To dance by the light of the jellicle moon |
| Jellicle cats are black and white |
| Jellicle cats (as we said) are small |
| If it happens to be a stormy night |
| We will practice a caper or two in the hall |
| If it happens the sun is shining bright |
| You would say we had nothing to do at all |
| We are resting and saving ourselves to be right |
| For the jellicle moon and the jellicle ball |
| ALL: |
| Jellicle cats come out tonight |
| Jellicle cats come one, come all |
| The jellicle moon is shining bright |
| Jellicles come to the jellicle ball |
