A man who's not heard of a Jellicle cat?

What's a Jellicle cat?

THE NAMING OF CATS

All: The naming of cats is a difficult matter

It isn't just one of your holiday games

You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter

When I tell you a cat must have three different names

First of all，there's the name that the family use daily

Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James

Such as Victor or Jonathan，George or Bill Bailey

All of them are sensible, everyday names

There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter

Some for the gentlemen，some for the dames

Such as Plato ADMETUS ELECTRA, Demeter

But all of them sensible, everyday names

But I tell you a cat needs a name that's particular

A name that's peculiar and more dignified

Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular?

Or spread out his whiskers or cherish his pride?

Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum

Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo or Coricopat

Such ad Bombalurina，or else Jellylorum

Names that never belong to more than one cat

But above and beyond there's still one name left over

And that is the name that you will never guess

The name that no human research can discover

But the cat himself knows and will never confess

When you notice a cat in profound meditation

The reason，I tell you，is always the same

Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name

His ineffable, effable, effanineffable

Deep and inscrutable singular name

Name name name name name name

THE INVITATION TO THE JELLICLE BAII

Mr Mistoffelees; Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicle cats come one come all

The Jellicle moon is shining bright

Jellicle come to the Jellicle ball

Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicle come to the Jellicle ball

All: Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicle cats come one come all

The Jellicle moon is shining bright

Jellicle come to the Jellicle ball

Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicle cats come one come all

The Jellicle moon is shining bright

Jellicle come to the Jellicle ball

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 disevent Jellicle life

For waiting up there is the heaviside layer

Full of wonders one Jellicle only will see

And Jellicle ask because Jellicle dare

Who will it be?

THE OLD GIIMBIE CAT

Munkustrap: I have a gumbie cat in mind

her name is Jennyanydots

Her coat is of the tabby kind

With tiger stripes and leopard spots

All day she sits beneath the stair

Or on the steps or on the mat

She sits and sits and sits and sits

And that's what makes a gumbie cat

That's what makes a gumbie cat!

Demeter&Jellylorum&Bombalurina: But...

When the day's hustle and bustle is done

Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun

And when all the family's in bed and asleep

She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep

She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice

(Gumbie)Jennyanydots: Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice

Trio: So when she has got them lined up on the matting She teaches them

Gumbie: Music crocheting and tatting

Munkustrap: I have a gumbie cat in mind

Her name is Jennyanydots

The curtain cord she likes to wind

And tie it into sailor knots

She site upon the windowsill

Or anything that's smooth and flat

she sits and sits and sits and sits

And that's what makes a gumbie cat

That's what makes a gumbie cat

Trio: But...

When the day's hustle and bustle is done

Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun

She thinks that the cockroaches

Gumbie: Need employment

Trio: To prevent them from

Gumbie: Idle and wanton destroyment

Trio: So she's formed form that lot of disorderly louts A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts

(GumbielJennyanydots: With a purpose in fife and a good deed to do...

Trio: And she's even created a beetles tattoo!

All: For she's a jolly good fellow!

(GumbielJennyanydots: Thank you my dears! The Rum Tum Tugger

All: The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

Tugger: If you offer me pheasant, I'd rather have grouse

If you put me in a house, I would much prefer a flat

If you put me in a flat, I word rather have a house

If you set me on a mouse, then I only want a rat

If you set me on a rat, then I'd rather chase a mouse

All: The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

Tugger: And there isn't any need for me to shout it

All: For he will do as he do do

Tugger: And there's nothing doing about it!

Munkustrap&Alonzo&Mistoffeiees: The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore

Tugger: When you let me in, then I want to go out

I' m always on the wrong side of every door

And as soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about

I like to lie in the bureau drawer

And I make such a fuss if I can't get out

All: The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

Tugger: And there isn't any use fou you to doubt it

All: For he will do as he do do

Tugger: And there's no doing anything about it!

Bombalurina: The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast

Tugger: My disobliging ways are a matter of habit

If you offer me fish，then I always want a feast

When there isn't any fish，then I won't eat rabbit

If you offer me cream，then I sniff and sneer
