Prologue: Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Midnight. Not a sound from the pavement.
Suddenly an explosion of lights and music fills the theatre,
revealing a larger-than-life junkyard. Probing car lights
tear across the darkened landscape of bottles and boxes,
briefly catching the darting image of a running feline.
One by one, the curious cats emerge. Tonight is the one special
night each year when the tribe of Jellicle Cats reunites to
celebrate who they are. The cats emerge singing of their unique
abilities and special traits in a fusion of poetry and dance.Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats

SOLO:
Are you blind when you’re born? Can you see in the dark?
Dare 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?

Are you mean like a minx? Are you lean like a lynx?
Are you keen to be seen when you’re smelling a rat?
Were you there when the pharaoh commissioned the Sphinx?
If you were, and you are, you’re a jellicle cat

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

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
