The Jellicle Ball
Whimsical Night Unveiled: Jellicle Cats Dance Under the Moonlight
Lyrics
Jellicle cats come out tonight
Jellicle cats gather tonight
Jellicle cats come one, come all
All Jellicle cats are welcome
The jellicle moon is shining bright
The Jellicle moon is brightly shining
Jellicles come to the jellicle ball
Jellicles assemble for the Jellicle ball
Jellicle cats are black and white
Jellicle cats have black and white fur
Jellicle cats are rather small
Jellicle cats are relatively small in size
Jellicle cats are merry and bright
Jellicle cats are joyful and vibrant
And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul
Pleasant sounds arise when they caterwaul
Jellicle cats have cheerful faces
Jellicle cats display cheerful expressions
Jellicle cats have bright black eyes
Jellicle cats have lively, black eyes
We like to practice our airs and graces
They enjoy practicing manners and behaviors
And wait for the jellicle moon to rise
Awaiting the rise of the Jellicle moon
Jellicle cats develop slowly
Jellicle cats mature gradually
Jellicle cats are not too big
They are not overly large
Jellicle cats are roly poly
They have a plump and round physique
We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig
Skilled in dancing gavottes and jigs
Until the jellicle moon appears
Preparing for the Jellicle moon
We make our toilette and take our repose
Grooming and resting before the ball
Jellicles wash behind their ears
Cleaning behind their ears
Jellicles dry between their toes
Drying between their toes
Jellicle cats are black and white
Jellicle cats have black and white fur
Jellicle cats are of moderate size
Moderate in size
Jellicles jump like a jumping jack
They leap energetically like a jumping jack
Jellicle cats have moonlit eyes
Moonlit eyes add to their mystique
We're quiet enough in the morning hours
Quiet during morning hours
We're quiet enough in the afternoon
Remaining peaceful in the afternoon
Reserving our terpsichorean powers
Preserving dance abilities for the Jellicle moon
To dance by the light of the jellicle moon
Dancing in the light of the Jellicle moon
Jellicle cats are black and white
Jellicle cats have black and white fur
Jellicle cats (as we said) are small
Small in size, as mentioned before
If it happens to be a stormy night
In stormy weather, they practice capers indoors
We will practice a caper or two in the hall
Performing playful actions in the hall
If it happens the sun is shining bright
On sunny days, they appear to have nothing to do
You would say we had nothing to do at all
Resting and saving energy for the right moment
We are resting and saving ourselves to be right
Preparing for the Jellicle moon and ball
For the jellicle moon and the jellicle ball
Jellicle cats come out tonight
All Jellicle cats are invited
Jellicle cats come one, come all
The Jellicle moon continues to shine
The jellicle moon is shining bright
Returning to the Jellicle ball
Jellicles come to the jellicle ball
