CATS - The Jellicle Ball lyrics
rate meThe 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
