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

<br />
We can dive through the air like a flying trapeze <br />
We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire <br />
We can run up a wall, we can swing through the trees <br />
We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire <br />
<br />
Jellicles can and jellicles do <br />
Jellicles can and jellicles do <br />
Jellicles can and jellicles do <br />
Jellicles can and jellicles do <br />

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

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

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