Lyrics

[00:39.51] Jellicle Cats come out tonight
[00:43.52] Jellicle Cats come one come all
[00:46.52] The Jellicle moon is shining bright
[00:49.68] Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
[00:53.15] Jellicle Cats come out tonight
[00:56.12] Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
[00:59.98] Jellicle Cats are white and black
[01:02.89] Jellicle Cats are of moderate size
[01:06.10] Jellicles jump like a jumping jack
[01:09.22] Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes
[01:12.31] We're quiet enough in the morning hours
[01:15.41] We're quiet enough in the afternoon
[01:18.38] Reserving our terpsichorean powers
[01:21.73] To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon
[01:25.19] Jellicle Cats meet once a year
[01:29.05] At the Jellicle Ball where we all rejoice
[01:33.10] And the Jellicle Leader will soon appear
[01:37.06] And make what is known as the Jellicle Choice
[01:41.08] When Old Deuteronomy, just before dawn
[01:45.22] Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife
[01:49.32] Announces the cat who can now be reborn
[01:53.40] And come back to a different Jellicle Life
[01:57.21] For waiting up there is the Heaviside Layer
[02:01.37] Full of wonders one Jellicle only will see
[02:05.03] And Jellicles ask because Jellices dare
[02:08.84] Who will it be?
[02:11.37] Who will it be?
