They are proud, however, and they explain to their human visitors 
who they are and reveal that cats have three different names: 
the one the family uses daily, the more dignified name and a secret 
name. It is the cat`s contemplation of the latter that keeps felines 
in deep thought. 
ALL (Whispering): 
The naming of cats is a difficult matter 
It isn`t just one of your holiday games 
You may think at first I`m 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 

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 as 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 
His mind is engaged in rapt contemplation 
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
