| 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 |
