[Mistoffelees:] 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 Jellicles come to the Jellicle ball
[Chorus:] 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
[Munkustrap:] Jellicle cats meet once a year At the Jellicle ball where we all rejoice And the Jellicle leader will soon appear And make what is known as the Jellicle choice When Old Deuteronomy just before dawn Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife Announces the cat who can now be reborn And come back to different Jellicle life Because waiting up there is the heaviside layer With wonders one Jellicle only will see Jellicles ask because Jellicles dare Who will it be? Who will it be?
