The Invitation To The Jellicle Ball Lyrics

    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
    Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

    Jellicle Cats are white and black
    Jellicle Cats are of moderate size
    Jellicles jump like a jumping jack

    Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes

    We're quiet enough in the morning hours
    We're quiet enough in the afternoon
    Reserving our terpsichorean powers
    To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon

    Jellicle Cats meet once a year
    At the Jellicle Ball where we all rejoice
    And the Jellicle Leader will soon appear
    And make what is known as the Jellicle Choice
    When Old Deuteronomy, just before dawn
    Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife
    Announces the cat who can now be reborn
    And come back to a different Jellicle Life
    For waiting up there is the Heaviside Layer
    Full of wonders one Jellicle only will see
    And Jellicles ask because Jellices dare:

    Who will it be?
    Who will it be?
