Grizabella The Glamour Cat Lyrics

The evening takes a somber turn when the outcast figure

                  "Grizabella, The Glamour Cat" appears. Although she is a 

                  Jellicle Cat, the rest of the tribe shun her. She had left


                  the tribe years ago to explore the outside world. The outside


                  world has been hard on her, however, and she who was once a


                  beautiful and glamorous feline is now tattered and torn. 

                  Although she wants to return, the other cats are cruel,
clawing 

                  and hissing at her. But Grizabella is proud, and she vows to
return.

 

                  SOLO: 

                  Remark the cat who hesitates toward you 

                  In the light of the door which opens on her like a grin 

                    

                  You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand


                  And you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin


                    

                  She haunted many a low resort 

                  Near the grimy road of Tottenham Court 

                  She flitted about the No Man's Land 

                  From "The Rising Sun" to "The Friend at Hand" 

                    

                  And the postman sighed as he scratched his head 

                  "You'd really had thought she ought to be dead" 

                    

                  And who would ever suppose that 

                  That was Grizabella, the glamour cat 

                    

                  Grizabella, the glamour cat, Grizabella, the glamour cat 

                    

                  And who would ever suppose that 

                  That was Grizabella, the glamour cat
