Loki
(2001-2005)
Jellicle Cats come out tonight,
Jellicle Cars come one, come all
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball.
Jellicle Cats are black and white,
Jellicle Cats are rather small
Jellicle Cats are merry and bright
And pleasant to hear when they caterwaul.
Jellicle Cats have cheerful faces,
Jellicle Cats have bright black eyes
They like to practice their airs and graces
And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise.
Jellicle Cats develop slowly
Jellicle Cats are not to big
Jellicle Cats are roly-poly
They know how to dance a gavotte and a jig.
Until the Jellicle Moon appears
They make their toilette and take their repose;
Jellicles wash behing their ears,
Jellicle dry between their toes.
Jellicle Cats are white and black,
Jellicle Cats are of moderate size
Jellicles jump like a jumping-jack
Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes.
They're quiet enough in the morning hours,
They're quiet enough in the afternoon,
Reserving their terpsichorean powers
To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon.
Jellicle Cats are black and white,
Jellicle Cats (as I said) are small,
If it happens to be a stormy night
They will practice a caper of two in the hall.
If it happens the sun is shining bright
You would say they had nothing to do at all;
They are resting and saving themselves to be right
For the Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball.
