The Cats

The Cats - The Jellicle Ball lyrics

Your rating:

The action is intruded by yet another crash from the villainous 

Macavity, which sends the cats scurrying! Old Deuteronomy soothes 

them, as they come back one by one. It is time for "The Jellicle 

Ball," the great yearly dance in which all of the cats celebrate! 



ALL: 

Jellicle cats come out tonight 

Jellicle cats come one, come all 

The jellicle moon is shining bright 

Jellicles come to the jellicle ball 



SOLO: 

Jellicle cats are black and white 

Jellicle cats are rather small 

Jellicle cats are merry and bright 

And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul 



Jellicle cats have cheerful faces 

Jellicle cats have bright black eyes 

We like to practice our airs and graces 

And wait for the jellicle moon to rise 



Jellicle cats develop slowly 

Jellicle cats are not too big 

Jellicle cats are roly poly 

We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig 



Until the jellicle moon appears 

We make our toilette and take our repose 

Jellicles wash behind their ears 

Jellicles dry between their toes 



Jellicle cats are black and white 

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 



Jellicle cats are black and white 

Jellicle cats (as we said) are small 

If it happens to be a stormy night 

We will practice a caper or two in the hall 



If it happens the sun is shining bright 

You would say we had nothing to do at all 

We are resting and saving ourselves to be right 

For the jellicle moon and the jellicle ball 



ALL: 

Jellicle cats come out tonight 

Jellicle cats come one, come all 

The jellicle moon is shining bright 

Jellicles come to the jellicle ball
