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

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

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

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

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?
