CATS - Prologue: Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats lyrics

rate me

Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?<br />

Can you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?<br />

Can you say 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 />

<br />

Because Jellicles can and Jellicles do<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 pharaohs 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 />

Feline, fearless, faithful and true 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 />

<br />

Practical cats, dramatical cats<br />

Pragmatical cats, fanatical cats<br />

Oratorical cats, delphic-oracle cats<br />

Skeptical cats, dyspeptical cats<br />

<br />

Romantical cats, pedantical cats<br />

Critical cats, parasitical cats<br />

Allegorical cats, metaphorical cats<br />

Statistical cats and mystical cats<br />

<br />

Political cats, hypocritical cats<br />

Clerical cats, hysterical cats<br />

Cynical cats, rabbinical cats<br />
