Cast of the Motion Picture - Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats lyrics

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?
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?

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 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?
Where you there when the
Pharaohs commissioned the Sphinx?
If you were and you are
You're a Jellicle cat
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

We can dive through the air
Like a flying trapeze
We can turn double somersaults
Bounce on a tire we can run up the 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

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

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'
(Ahh) that always triumphantly brings
Down the house?
Jellicle cats are queens of the nights
Singing at astronomical heights
Handling 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

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

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, habbinical cats
And magical cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
