The Invitation To The Jellicle Ball Lyrics - Singles - Cats

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.
