Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats

Are you blind when you're born?
Can you see in the dark?
Dare you look at a king?
Would you sit on his throne.
Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark?
Are you cock of the walk
When you're walking alone?

Because Jellicles are and Jellicles do,
Jellicles do and Jellicles would,
Jellicles would and Jellicles can,
Jellicles can and Jellicles do,

When you fall on your head do you land on your feet?
Are you tense when you sense there's a storm in the air?
Can you find your way blind when you're lost in the street?
Do you know how to go to the Heavyside Layer?

Because Jellicles can and Jellicles do,
Jellicles do and Jellicles can,
Jellicles can and Jellicles do,
Jellicles do and Jellicles can,
Jellicles can and Jellicles do.

Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?
Familiar with candle,
With book and with bell?
Were you Whittingdon's friend?
The Pied Piper's assistant?
Have you been an alumnus of heaven and hell?

Are you mean like a Minx?
Are you lean like a Lynx?
Are you keen to be seen when you're smelling a rat?
Were you there when the Pharaohs commissioned the Sphinx?
If you were as you are, you're a Jellicle cat.

We can fly through the air like a flying trapeze
We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tyre
We can run up a wall, we can swing through the trees
We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire.

Jellicles can and Jellicles do,
Jellicles can and Jellicles do,
Jellicles can and Jellicles do,
Jellicles can and Jellicles do.

Can you sing at the same time in more than one key,
Duets by Rossini
And waltzes by Strauss?
Ah--------
And can you (as cats do) begin with a C
That always triumphantly brings down the house?

Jellicle Cats are queen of the nights
Singing at astronomical heights,
Handeling pieces from the Messiah,
Hallelujah, angelical choir.

The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity
Round the cathedral rang "Vivat."
Life to the everlasting cat,

Feline, fearless,
Faithful and true to
Others who do
What

Jellicles do and Jellicles can,
Jellicles can and Jellicles do,
Jellicle Cats sing Jellicle chants,
Jellicles old and Jellicles new,
Jellicle songs and Jellicle dance,

There's a man over there
With a look of suprise,
As much as to say, well now
How about that?

Do I actually see
With my own very eyes
A man whose not heard of a Jellicle Cat?

What's a Jellicle Cat?

What's a Jellicle Cat?
