Prologue: Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats / Solo Dance - London Theatre Orchestra & Cast

Written by:Lloyd Webber/Eliot

Are you blind when you're born

 

Can you see in the dark

 

Can 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

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

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

 

Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Jellicles can and Jellicles do

 

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

 

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

 

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

 

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

 

Practical cats dramatical cats

Pragmatical cats fanatical cats

Oratorical cats

Delphic oracle 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

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle bells that Jellicles ring

Jellicle sharps and Jellicle flats

Jellicle songs that Jellicles sing

 

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

 

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
