Jellicle songs for Jellicle Cats x 5
We can fly through the air like a flying trapeze
We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tyre
We can run up the 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

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
Handeling pieces from the Messiah
Hallelujah, angelical choir

Singing at astronomical heights
Handeling pieces from the Messiah
Hallelujah, angelical choir
The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity
Round the cathedral rang Vivat

Feline, fearless
Faithful and true to others who do
What

Jellicles old and Jellicles new
Jellicle songs and Jellicle dance!
