Cats The Invitation To The Jellicle Ball Lyrics

The Invitation To The Jellicle Ball Lyrics

The young and innocent white cat Victoria performs a solo 

                  dance. Munkustrap, a large grey tabby who serves as the
show's

                  narrator, explains that the Jellicle Cats meet once a year
to

                  rejoice! He also explains that they are waiting for their
leader,

                  the wise Old Deuteronomy, who will choose which one of the


                  Jellicle Cats will this year journey to the Heaviside Layer
to be 

                  reborn to a new life!

 

                  ALL: 

                  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 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 

                    

                  SOLO: 

                  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 

                    

                  That's 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 different jellicle life 

                    

                  Because waiting up there is the heaviside layer 

                  With wonders one jellicle only will see 

                  Jellicles ask because jellicles dare 

                  Who will it be? 

                    

                  From this point onward, each of the cats tells his own
story

                  in song and dance, hoping to be chosen as the special cat to


                  come back to a different Jellicle life.
