Lyrics:

Up, up, up past the Russell Hotel
Up, up, up, up to the Heaviside Layer
Up, up, up past the Russell Hotel
Up, up, up, up to the Heaviside Layer
Up, up, up past the Russell Hotel
Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer

Up, up, up past the Russell Hotel
Up, up, up, up to the Heaviside layer
Up, up, up past the Jellicle Moon
Up, up, up, up to the Heaviside Layer
Up, up, up past the Jellicle moon
Up, up, up, up to the Heaviside Layer

The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity
Round the cathedral rang 'Vivat'
Life to the everlasting cat!

Interpretations:

“This is just a transitional group number, sung as Grizabella ascends to the Heavyside Layer.” - Munkustrap Kitty

”It means to go up and become one with the Jellicle Moon and all the wonders that await everyone, even the bad cats. It is almost about hope and celebration. I like it alot, because, well, it's just awesome. I love all the songs from 'CATS,' and they fit well together." - Mysticlees
