The entire tribe rejoins as their benevolent and wise 
leader Old Deuteronomy arrives. The cats adore and respect him. 
SOLO: 
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy 

ALL: 
Well of all things can it be really 
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! 
My mind may be wandering but I confess 
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy 

SOLO: 
Old Deuteronomy`s lived a long time 
He`s a cat who has lived many lives in succession 
He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme 
A long while before Queen Victoria`s accession 

Old Deuteronomy`s buried nine wives 
And more I am tempted to say ninety-nine 
And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives 
And the village is proud of him in his decline 

At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy 
When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall 
The oldest inhabitant croaks: 

Well of all things can it be really 
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! 
My mind may be wandering but I confess 
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy 
ALL: 
Well of all things can it be really 
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! 
My mind may be wandering but I confess 
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy 

Well of all things can it be really 
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! 
My mind may be wandering but I confess 
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy 

Well of all things can it be really 
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye! 

OLD DUTERONOMY: 
My legs may be tottery, I must go slow 
And be careful of Old Deuteronomy 

Munkustrap has assembled some entertainment for Deuteronomy. 
The cats put on a show called "The Awful Battle of the Pekes and 

the Pollicles together with The Marching Song of the Pollicle Dogs." 

In the show, which Munkustrap narrates, the cats dress up as two 
rival dog factions: the Pekes and the Pollicles. The two groups 
bark ceaselessly at each other, until they are frightened away by 
the great Rumpus Cat, a sleek, powerful feline.
