The Jellicle Ball

SOLOS (spoken):
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 practice 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 to 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 sizeс  
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 we said) are small  
If it happens to be a stormy night  
We will practice a caper or two in the hall 

If it happens the sun is shining bright   
You would say we had nothing to do at all  
We are resting and saving ourselves to be right 
For the Jellicle moon and the Jellicle ball  

CHORUS:
Jellicle cats come out tonight    
Jellicle cats come one, come all   
The Jellicle moon is shining bright   
Jellicles come to the Jellicle ball
