Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats

SOLOS:
Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?   
Can 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?   

CHORUS:
Because Jellicles are and Jellicles do     
Jellicles would and Jellicles could     
Jellicles would and Jellicles can     
Jellicles can and Jellicles do      

SOLOS:
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 heaviside layer?    

CHORUS:
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     

SOLOS:
Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?   
Familiar with candle, with book, and with bell?   
Were you Whittington's friend? The Pied Piper's assistant?  
Have you been an alumnus of heaven or 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 and you are, you're a Jellicle cat!

We can dive through the air like a flying trapeze   
We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire   
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?    
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    
Handelling 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 song and Jellicle dance

Practical cats, dramatical cats      
Pragmatical cats, fanatical cats     
Oratorical cats, Delphic-Oracle cats     
Skeptical cats, Dyspeptical cats     
Romantical cats, Pedantical cats     
Critical cats, parasitical cats      
Allegorical cats, metaphorical cats     
Statistical cats and mystical cats     
Political cats, hypocritical cats     
Clerical cats, hysterical cats      
Cynical cats, rabbinical cats      

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats      
Jellicle bells that Jellicles ring     
Jellicle sharps and Jellicle flats     
Jellicle songs that Jellicles sing

There's a man over there with a look of surprise   
As much as to say well now how about that?    
Do I actually see with my own very eyes    
A man who's not heard of a Jellicle cat?     
What's a Jellicle cat? What's a Jellicle cat?
