The Song of the Jellicles
If you don't know which nickname belongs to which cat, click
HERE to view the list of the short nicknames I have used in the lyrics and sometimes around the site. These nicknames aren't official or anything, just to make it easier to type and in some places (eg Tumble, Misto) they are fond nicknames *hugs Tumble and Misto*.
DEUT:
Jellicle Cats come out tonight
Jellicle Cats come one, come all
DEUT, VIC, JEMI, MUNKU:
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
ALONZO: Jellicle Cats are black and white
Jellicle Cats are rather small
Jellicle Cats are merry
POUNCE: And bright
VIC, JEMI: And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul
SKIMBLE: Jellicle Cats have cheerful faces
TUMBLE: Jellicle Cats have bright black eyes
MISTO: We like to practice our airs and graces
ALL: And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise
MUNKU, PLATO, ADME: Jellicle Cats develop slowly
TUMBLE: Jellicle Cats are not too big
ASPAR: Jellicle Cats are roly-poly
SKIMBLE, MISTO: We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig

JENNY: Jellicles wash behind their ears
JELLY: Jellicles dry between their toes

MUNGO, RUMPEL: Jellicle Cats are of moderate size
TUMBLE, POUNCE, SKIMBLE: Jellicles jump like a jumping jack
CASS: Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes
ALL: We're quiet enough in the morning hours
We're quiet enough in the afternoon

ALL: To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon
ALONZO: Jellicle Cats are black
VIC, ETC, RUMPEL: And white
TUMBLE, SKIMBLE, MISTO: Jellicle cats as we said are small
MUNKU, PLATO, ADME: If it happens to be a stormy night
TUMBLE, SKIMBLE, MISTO: We will practice a caper or two in the hall
ALL: If it happens the sun is shining bright
RTT: You would say we had nothing to do at all
ALL: We are resting and saving ourselves to be right
For the Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball!
Jellicle Cats come out tonight
Jellicle Cats come one, come all
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
Jellicle Cats come out tonight
Jellicle Cats come one, come all
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
