- Erinnerung
Mondlicht, schau hinauf in das Mondlicht,
geh' ins Land der Erinnrung, auf der mondhellen Bahn.
Und wenn Du dort erfahren hast was Glück wirklich ist,
fängt ein neues Leben an.
Träume, die Erinnrung im Mondlicht.
Lächelnd denk' ich an damals, als ich jung war und schön.
Ich glaub' damals hab' ich gewußt was Glück wirklich ist.
- Jellicle Song For Jellicle Cats
Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?
Can 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
- Jourmey to the Heaviside Layer
Up up up past the Russell Hotel
Up up up up to the heaviside layer
Up up up past the Russell Hotel
Up up up up to the heaviside layer
Up up up past the Russell Hotel
Up up up up to the heaviside layer
- Memory
Midnight!
Not a sound from the pavement,
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone...
In the lamp light
The withered leaves collect at my feet,
And the wind begins to moan...
- The Ad-dressing of Cats
Deuteronomy:
You've heard of several kinds of cat
And my opinion now is that
You should need no interpreter to understand our character
You've learned enough to take the view
That cats are very much like you
You've seen us both at work and games
And learnt about our proper names
- The Invitation to the Jellicle Ball
SOLO:
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
- The Old Gumbie Cat
I have a gumbie cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots
Her coat is of the tabby kind with tiger stripes and leopard spots
All day she sits beneath the stairs or on the steps or on the mat
She sits and sits and sits and that’s what makes a gumbie cat
That’s what makes a gumbie cat
But…
When the day’s hustle and bustle is done
- The Rum Tum Tugger
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
If you offer me pheasant I'd rather have grouse
If you put me in a house I would much prefer a flat
If you put me in a flat then I'd rather have a house
If you set me on a mouse then I only want a rat
If you set me on a rat then I'd rather chase a mouse
