CATS - Grizabella, The Glamour Cat lyrics

rate me

The evening takes a somber turn when the outcast figure<br />

"Grizabella, The Glamour Cat" appears. Although she is a <br />

Jellicle Cat, the rest of the tribe shun her. She had left <br />

the tribe years ago to explore the outside world. The outside <br />

world has been hard on her, however, and she who was once a <br />

beautiful and glamorous feline is now tattered and torn. <br />

Although she wants to return, the other cats are cruel, clawing <br />

and hissing at her. But Grizabella is proud, and she vows to return.<br />

<br />

SOLO: <br />

Remark the cat who hesitates toward you <br />

In the light of the door which opens on her like a grin <br />

<br />

You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand <br />

And you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin <br />

<br />

She haunted many a low resort <br />

Near the grimy road of Tottenham Court <br />

She flitted about the No Man's Land <br />

From "The Rising Sun" to "The Friend at Hand" <br />

<br />

And the postman sighed as he scratched his head <br />

"You'd really had thought she ought to be dead" <br />

<br />

And who would ever suppose that <br />

That was Grizabella, the glamour cat <br />

<br />

Grizabella, the glamour cat, Grizabella, the glamour cat <br />

<br />

And who would ever suppose that <br />

That was Grizabella, the glamour cat
