Lyrics-The Song of the Jellicles

Old Deuteronomy: 

Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicle cats come one, come all

Old Deuteronomy, Munkustrap, Victoria, & Jemima: 

The Jellicle Moon is shining bright

Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball!

Alonzo: 

Jelllicle cats are black and white

Jellicle cats are rather small

Jellicle cats are merry

Pouncival: 

And bright!

Victoria & Jemima: 

And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul

Skimbleshanks: 

Jellicle cats have cheerful faces

Tumblebrutus: 

Jellicle cats have bright black eyes!

Mistoffelees: 

We like to practice our airs and graces

All: 

And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise!

Munkustrap, Admetus, & Plato: 

Jellicle cats develop slowly

Tumblebrutus: 

Jellicle cats are not too big

Asparagus: 

Jellicle cats are roly-poly

Mistoffelees & Skimbleshanks: 

We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig

Demeter: 

Until the Jellicle Moon appears

Bombalurina: 

We make our toilette, and take our repose

Jennyanydots: 

Jellicles wash behind their ears!

Jellylorum: 

Jellicles dry between their toes

Coricopat & Tantomile: 

Jellicle cats are white and black

Mungojerrie & Rumpleteazer: 

Jellicle cats are of moderate size!

Skimbleshanks, Pouncival, & Tumblebrutus: 

Jellicles jump like a jumping jack

Cassandra: 

Jellicle cats have moonlit eyes

All: 

We're quiet enough in the morning hours

We're quiet enough in the afternoon

Munkustrap & Mistoffelees: 

Reserving our terpsichorean powers!

All: 

To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon

Alonzo: 

Jellicle cats are black

Rumpleteazer, Victoria, & Etcetera: 

And white!

Skimbleshanks, Mistoffelees, & Tumblebrutus: 

Jellicle cats, as we said, are small

Munkustrap, Admetus, & Plato: 

If it happens to be a stormy night

Skimbleshanks, Mistoffelees, & Tumblebrutus: 

We will practice a caper or two in the hall

All: 

If it happens the sun is shining bright

RTT: 

You would say we had nothing to do at all

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

Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball....

Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicle cats come one come all

The Jellicle Moon is shining bright

Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball...
