CATS - The Jellicle Ball lyrics

rate me

The action is intruded by yet another crash from the villainous <br />

Macavity, which sends the cats scurrying! Old Deuteronomy soothes <br />

them, as they come back one by one. It is time for "The Jellicle <br />

Ball," the great yearly dance in which all of the cats celebrate!<br />

<br />

ALL: <br />

Jellicle cats come out tonight <br />

Jellicle cats come one, come all <br />

The jellicle moon is shining bright <br />

Jellicles come to the jellicle ball <br />

<br />

SOLO: <br />

Jellicle cats are black and white <br />

Jellicle cats are rather small <br />

Jellicle cats are merry and bright <br />

And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul <br />

<br />

Jellicle cats have cheerful faces <br />

Jellicle cats have bright black eyes <br />

We like to practice our airs and graces <br />

And wait for the jellicle moon to rise <br />

<br />

Jellicle cats develop slowly <br />

Jellicle cats are not too big <br />

Jellicle cats are roly poly <br />

We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig <br />

<br />

Until the jellicle moon appears <br />

We make our toilette and take our repose <br />

Jellicles wash behind their ears <br />

Jellicles dry between their toes <br />

<br />

Jellicle cats are black and white <br />

Jellicle cats are of moderate size <br />

Jellicles jump like a jumping jack <br />

Jellicle cats have moonlit eyes <br />

<br />

We're quiet enough in the morning hours <br />

We're quiet enough in the afternoon <br />

Reserving our terpsichorean powers <br />

To dance by the light of the jellicle moon <br />

<br />

Jellicle cats are black and white <br />

Jellicle cats (as we said) are small <br />

If it happens to be a stormy night <br />

We will practice a caper or two in the hall <br />

<br />

If it happens the sun is shining bright <br />

You would say we had nothing to do at all <br />

We are resting and saving ourselves to be right <br />

For the jellicle moon and the jellicle ball <br />

<br />

ALL: <br />

Jellicle cats come out tonight <br />

Jellicle cats come one, come all <br />

The jellicle moon is shining bright <br />

Jellicles come to the jellicle ball
