Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats |
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? |
