SOLO:   Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?    Dare 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?       Because jellicles are and jellicles do    Jellicles do and jellicles would    Jellicles would and jellicles can    Jellicles can and jellicles do       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 and 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 pharaoh 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 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    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'?    That always triumphantly brings down the house?       Jellicle cats are queen 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, Delphicoracle cats    Skeptical cats, Dispeptical 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 songs for jellicle cats    Jellicle songs for jellicle cats    Jellicle songs for jellicle cats    Jellicle songs for jellicle cats       But the cats are not alone. Humans (the audience) are present    in the cats' private world. The cats are at first reluctant and   suspicious to include others in their domain.      SOLO:   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?       MAN:    What's a jellicle cat?       ALL (Echoing):    What's a jellicle cat?
