Jellicle Cats come out tonight,
Jellicle Cats come one come all:
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright-
Jellicles come to the jellicle ball.
Jellicle Cats are black and white,
Jellicle Cats are rather small;
Jellicle Cats are merry
And bright,
And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul.
Jellicle Cats have cheerful faces,
Jellicle Cats have bright black eyes;
We like to practise our airs and graces
And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise.
Jellicle Cats develop slowly,
Jellicle Cats are not too big;
Jellicle Cats are roly-poly,
We know how dance a gavotte and a jig.
Until the Jellicle Moon appears
We make our toilette and take our repose:
Jellicles wash behind their ears,
Jellicles dry between their toes.
Jellicle Cats are white and black,
Jellicle Cats are of moderate size;
Jellicles jump like a jumping-jack,
Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes.
We're quiet enough in the morning hours,
We're quiet enough in the afternoon,
Reserving our terpsichorean powers
To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon.
Jellicle Cats are black
And white,
Jellicle Cats (as I said) are small;
If it happens to be a stormy night
We will practise a caper or two in the hall.
If it happens the sun is shining bright
You would say we have nothing to do at all:
We are resting and saving ourselves to be right
For the Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball.
Jellicle Cats come out tonight,
Jellicle Cats come one come all:
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright-
Jellicle comes to the Jellicle Ball.
Jellicle Cats come out tonight,
Jellicle Cats come one come all:
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright-
Jellicle comes to the Jellicle Ball.
