Songs for Jellicle Cats
杰里可歌颂杰里可猫
Are you
blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?
Dare
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 Jellicles can and
Jellicles do
When you fall on your
head, Do you land on your feet? Are you
tense when you sense There's a storm in
the air? Can you find
your way blind
When you're lost in the street? Do you know how
to go to the Heaviside Layer?
Because Jellicles can and Jellicles do
Jellicles do and
Jellicles can
Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles do and
Jellicles can Jellicles can and
Jellicles do
Can you ride on a
broomstick to places far distant? Familiar
with candle, with book, and with bell?
Were you Whittington's
friend? The Pied
Piper's assistant? Have you been an alumnus
of heaven and hell?
Are
you
mean
like
a
minx?
Are
you
lean
like
a
lynx?
Are
you
keen
to be
seen when you're smelling a rat? Were you there
when the
pharaohs commissioned the
Sphinx? If you were and you are,
you're
a Jellicle Cat!

We
can dive through the air like a flying trapeze We
can turn
double somersaults, bounce on
a tire We can run up a wall, we
can
swing
through
the
trees
We
can
balance
on
bars,
we
can
walk
on a wire
Jellicles can and
Jellicles do Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Can you sing
at the same time in more than one key? Duets by
Rossini
and
waltzes
by Strauss? And
can you (as
cats
do)
begin
with a
'C'? That always triumphantly brings down the
house?
Jellicle Cats are queen of the
nights Singing at astronomical
heights
Handling pieces from 'The Messiah' Hallelujah,
angelical choir
The
mystical divinity of unashamed felinity 'Round the
cathedral rang 'Vivat' Life to the
everlasting cat! Feline,
fearless,
faithful and true To others who do what
Jellicles do and Jellicles can
Jellicles can and Jellicles do

There's a man over there
with a look of surprise As much as to
say as to say now, well how about that?
Do I actually see with
my
own
very

A

who's
not
heard
of
a

What's

猫的命名
The Naming
of Cats
The Naming of Cats is a
difficult matter It isn't just one of
your holiday games You may think at
first I'm mad as a hatter
When I tell
you a cat must have three different names
First of all, there's the name that the
family use daily Such
as
Peter,
Augustus,
Alonzo
or
James
Such
as
Victor
or
Jonathan,
George
or
Bill
Bailey
All
of
them
are
sensible,
everyday
names
There are fancier
names if you think they sound sweeter Some
for the gentlemen, some for the dames
Such as Plato, Admetus,
Electra,
Demeter But all of them sensible, everyday names
But I tell you, a cat needs a name
that's particular A name
that's
peculiar
and
more
dignified Else how can
he
keep
up his
tail
perpendicular? Or spread out his whiskers or
cherish his
pride?
Of
names
of
this
kind,
I
can
give
you
a
quorum
Such
as
Munkustrap,
Quaxo, or
Coricopat Such as Bombalurina or else Jellylorum
Names that never belong to more than
one cat
But
above
and
beyond,
there's
still
one
name
left
over
And
that
is the
name that you never will guess The name that no
human
research
can
discover
But
the
cat
himself
knows
and
will
never
confess
When
you
notice
a
cat
in
profound
meditation
The
reason,
I
tell
you, is always the same His mind is
engaged in a rapt
contemplation Of the
thought Of the thought Of the thought Of
his name His ineffable Effable
Effanineffable Deep and
inscrutable
singular Name, name, name, name, name, name, name
所有的猫聚在一起,
诉说猫们的三个名字,
给全剧渲染了神秘的气氛。

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 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
Then
the
Gumbie
Cat's
work
is
but
hardly
begun
And
when
all
the
family's
in
bed
and asleep, She tucks up her skirts to
the basement to creep
She is deeply
concerned with the ways of the mice: Their
behavior's
not
good
and
their
manners
not
nice
So
when she has
got them
lined up on the matting She teaches them music,
crocheting and tatting
I
have
a
Gumbie
Cat
in
mind
Her
name
is
Jennyanydots
The
curtain
cord she likes to
wind and tie it into sailor knots She sits
upon
the
windowsill
or
anything
that's
smooth
and
flat
She
sits
and 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
Then
the
Gumbie
Cat's
work
is
but
hardly
begun.
As
she
finds
that
the
mice
will
not ever keep quiet,
She is sure it is due to irregular diet;
And believing that nothing is done
without trying, She sets
right to work
with her baking and frying. She makes them a
mouse-cake
of
bread
and
dried
peas,
And
a
beautiful
fry
of
lean
bacon and cheese.
I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name
is Jennyanydots; The
curtain-cord she
likes to wind, and tie it into sailor knots.
She
sits
upon
the
window-sill
or
anything
that's
smooth
and
flat;
She sits and sits and
sits and sits and that's what makes a
Gumbie Cat!
But...
When
the
day's
hustle
and
bustle
is
done,
Then
the
gumbie
cat's
work
is
but
hardly
begun.
She
thinks
that
the
cockroaches
just need
employment To prevent them from idle and wanton
destroyment.
So
she's
formed,
from
that
lot
of
disorderly
louts,
A
troop
of
well-disciplined
helpful
boy-scouts,
With
a
purpose
in life and a good deed to do And she's
even created a Beetles
Tattoo!
For she's a jolly good fellow!
Thank you, my dears!

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
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat And
there isn't any need
for me to shout it
For he will do as he do do And there's no
doing anything about it!
The Rum Tum Tigger is a terrible bore
When
you
let
me
in,
then
I
want
to
go
out
I'm
always
on
the
wrong
side of every door And
as soon as I'm at home, then I'd like
to
get
about
I
like
to
lie
in
the
bureau
drawer,
But
I
make
such
a fuss if I can't get
out
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious
cat
And there isn't any need for you
to doubt it For he will do as
he do do
And there's no doing anything about it!
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast
My
disobliging
ways
are
a
matter
of
habit
If
you
offer
me
fish,
then I
always want a feast When there isn't any fish,
then I
won't eat rabbit If you offer me
cream, then I sniff and snear
For I
only like what I find for myself So you'll catch
me in
it right up to my ears If you put
it away on the larder shelf
The Rum
Tum Tugger is artful and knowing The Rum Tum
Tugger
Doesn't care for a cuddle But
I'll leap upon your lap in the
middle
of your sewing For there's nothing I enjoy like a
horrible muddle!
The Rum
Tum Tugger is a curious cat The Rum Tum Tugger
doesn't
care
for
a
cuddle
The
Rum
Tum
Tugger
is
a
curious
cat
And
there
isn't any need for me to spout it
For he will do as he do do
And there's no doing anything about it!

Grizabella: The
Glamour Cat
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
Rising
Sun
to
at
Hand
And
the
postman sighed as he
scratched
his head
who
would
ever
suppose
that
that
was
Grizabella
the
glamour
cat
Grizabella, the glamour cat,
Grizabella, the glamour cat Who
would
ever
suppose
that
that
was
Grizabella
the
glamour
cat

Bustopher
Jones is not skin
and bones In fact, he's remarkably fat He
doesn't
haunt
pubs,
he
has
eight
or
nine
clubs
For
he's
the
St.
James
Street cat
He's
the
cat
we
all
greet
as
we
walk
down
the
street
In
his
coat
of
fastidious
black
No
common-place
mousers
have
such
well-cut
trousers
Or
such
an
impeccable
back
In
the
whole
of
St.
James's
the smartest of names is The name of
this Brummell of cats And
we're
all
of
us
proud
to
be
nodded
or
bowed
to
By
Bustopher
Jones
in white spats
My visits are occasional to the senior
educational And it is
against the rules
For any one cat to belong both to that And
the joint superior schools
When
I'm
seen in
a hurry
there's
probably
curry
At
the Siamese
or at the
Glutton When I look full of gloom then I've
lunched
at the tomb On cabbage, rice
pudding and mutton
In the whole of St.
James's the smartest of names is The name
of
this
Brummell
of
cats
And
we're
all
of
us
proud
to
be
nodded
or
bowed to By Bustopher Jones in white, Bustopher
Jones in
white Bustopher Jones in white
spats
So
much
in
this
way
passes
Bustopher's
day
At
one
club
or
another
he's
found
It
can
be
no
surprise
that
under
our
eyes
He
has
grown
unmistakably round
He's a twenty-five pounder or I am a
bounder
And he's putting on weight
every day
But I'm so well preserved
because I've observed All my life a
routine and I'd say I am still in my
prime, I shall last out
my time That's
the word from this stoutest of cats
It
must
and
it
shall
be

Mungojerrie and
Rumpleteazer
Mungojerrie and
Rumpelteazer were a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick-change
comedians Tight-rope
walkers and
acrobats They had an extensive reputation, made
their home in Victoria Grove That was
merely their center of
operation for
they were incurably given to rove
If
the
area
window
was found ajar
and
the
basement
looked like
a field of war If a tile or two came
loose on the roof which
presently
ceased to be waterproof If the drawers were pulled
out
from
bedroom
chests
And
you
couldn't
find
one
of
your
winter
vests Or after supper one of the girls
suddenly missed her
Woolworth pearls
Then the family would say
Mungojerrie or
Rumpelteazer!
it at that
Mungojerrie
and
Rumpelteazer
had
an
unusual
gift
of
the
gab
They
were
highly
efficient
cat
burglars
as
welland
remarkably
smart
at
a
smash
and
grab
They
made
their
home
in
Victoria
Grove,
they
had
no
regular
occupation
They
were
plausible
fellows
who
liked
to engage a friendly policeman in
conversation
When the family assembled
for Sunday dinner Their minds made
up
that
they
wouldn't
get
thinner
on
Argentine
joint,
potatoes
and greens Then the
cook would appear from behind the scenes
And say in a voice that was broken with
sorrow
must
wait
and have dinner tomorrow The
joint
has
gone
from
the
oven
like that!
Then the family would say
Mungojerrie or
Rumpelteazer!
it at that
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had a
wonderful way of working
together
And
some
of
the
time
you
would
say
it
was
luck
and
some
of the time you would
say it was weather They'd go through the
house
like a
hurricane
and
no
sober
person could
take
his oath
Wasn't
it
Mungojerrie
and
Rumpelteazer?
Or
could
you
have
sworn
that it mightn't be
both? When you heard a dining room smash
or up from the pantry there came a loud
crash Or down from the
library came a
loud ping From a vase which was commonly said
to
be
Ming
Then
the
family
would
say,
which
was
which
cat?
It
was
Mungojerrie
and
Rumpelteazer
and
there's
nothing
at
all
to be done about that!

Old Deuteronomy
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
Well, of all things can it be really
No, Yes, H o, Hi, Oh my
eye! My mind
may be wandering, but I confess I believe it is
Old Deuteronomy
Old
Deuteronomy's lived a long time He's a cat who has
lived
many lives in succession He was
famous in proverb and famous
in rhyme A
long while before Queen Victoria's accession Old
Deuteronomy's buried nine wives And
more I am tempted to say
ninety-nine
And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives And
the
village
is
proud
of
him
in
his
decline
At
the
sight
of
that
placid
and bland physiognomy When he sits in the sun on
the
vicarage wall The oldest inhabitant
croaks
Well, of all things can it be
really No, Yes, H o, Hi, Oh my
eye! My
mind may be wandering, but I confess I believe it
is
Old Deuteronomy
Old
Deuteronomy
sits
in
the
street,
He
sits in the High
Street
on
market
day;
The
bullocks
may
below,
the
sheep
they
may
bleat,
But
the
dogs
and
the
herdsmen
will
turn
them
away.
The
cats
and
the
lorrie
run
over
the
kerb,
And
the
villagers
put
up
a
notice:
ROAD
CLOSED -- So that nothing untoward may chance to
disturb
Deuteronomy's reset when he
feels so disposed Or when he's
engaged
in domestic economy: And the Oldest Inhabitant
croaks
Well, of all things can it be
really No, Yes, H o, Hi, Oh my
eye! My
mind may be wandering, but I confess I believe it
is
Old Deuteronomy
Old
Deuteronomy lies on the floor Of the Fox and
French Horn
for his afternoon sleep;
And when the men say: 'There's just
time
for
one
more,
Then
the
landlady
from
her
back
parlour
will
peep And say:
Deuteronomy
mustn't
be
woken
--
I'll
have
the
police
if
there's
any
uproar
--
And
out
they
all
shuffle,
without
a
word
spoken.
The
digestive
repose
of
that
feline's
gastronomy
Must
never
be
borken, whatever befall: And the Oldest
Inhabitant croaks:
Well, of
all things can it be really No, Yes, H o, Hi, Oh
my
eye! My mind may be wandering, but I
confess I believe it is
Old Deuteronomy
Well, of all things can it be really
No, Yes, H o, Hi, Oh my
eye! My mind
may be wandering, but I confess I believe it is
Old Deuteronomy
Well, of
all things can it be really No, Yes, H o, Hi, Oh
my
eye!
My legs may be
tottery I must go slow And be careful of Old
Deuteronomy

狗咬狗的恐怖事件
The Pekes and the
Pollicles
Of
the
awful
battle
of
the
Pekes
and
the
Pollicles
Together
with
some
account
Of
the
participation
of the Pugs
and
the
Poms
And
the intervention of the Great Rumpus
Cat
The Pekes and the Pollicles
everyone knows Are proud and
implacable
passionate foes It is always the same wherever one
goes And the Pugs and the Poms although
most people say That
they do not like
fighting yet once in a way They now and again
join into the fray
And
they... Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! BARK!
BARK!
Until you can hear them all over
the Park
Now on the occasion of which
I shall speak Almost nothing had
happened for nearly a week And that's a
long time for a Pol or
a Peke The big
Police Dog was away from his beat I don't know
the reason, but most people think He'd
slipped into the
Wellington's Arms for
a drink And no one at all was about on
the street When a Peke and a Pollicle
happened to meet
They
did
not
advance
or
exactly
retreat
But
they
glared
at
each
other and
scraped their hind feet
And
started
to...
Bark!
Bark!
Bark!
Bark!
Bark!
Bark!
BARK!
BARK!
Until
you can hear them all over the Park
And they... Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!
Bark! Bark! BARK! BARK!
Until you can
hear them all over the Park
Now the
Peke although people may say what they please Is
no
British Dog, but a Heathen Chinese
And so all the Pekes, when
they
heard
the
uproar
Some
came
to
the
window,
some
came
to
the
door
There
were
surely
a
dozen,
more
likely
a
score
And
together
they started to
grumble and wheeze In their huffery-snuffery
Heathen Chinese But a terrible din is
what Pollicles like For
your Pollicle
Dog is a dour Yorkshire tyke
There
are
dogs
out
of
every
nation
The
Irish,
the
Welsh
and
the
Dane
The
Russian,
the
Dutch,
the
Dalmatian
And
even
from
China
and Spain, The Poodle, the Pom, the
Alsatian And the mastiff
who
walks
on
a
chain
And
to
those
that
are
frisky
and
frollical
Let
my
meaning
be
perfectly
plain
That
my
name
it
is
Little
Tom
Pollicle And you'd
better not do it again
And
his
braw
Scottish
cousins
are
snappers
and
biters
And
every
dog-jack
of
them
notable
fighters
And
so
they
stepped
out
with
their pipers in order Playing When the
Blue Bonnets Come Over
the Border
Then the Pug and the Poms held no
longer aloof But some from
the
balcony,
some
from
the
roof
Join
to
the
din
with
a...
Bark!
Bark! Bark! Bark!
Bark! Bark! BARK! BARK! Until you can hear
them all over the Park
Huffary
Snuffary!
Huffary
Snuffary!
Huffary
Snuffary!
Huffary
Snuff!
Until you can hear them all over the
Park
When these bold heroes together
assembled The traffic all
stopped,
and
the
Underground
trembled
And
some
of
the
neighbors
were
so
much
afraid
That
they
started
to
ring
up
the
Fire
Brigade
When
suddenly,
up
from
the
a
small
basement
flat
Why
who
should
stalk
out but the Great Rumpus Cat
His
eyes
were
like
fireballs
fearfully
blazing
He
gave
a
great
yawn and
his jaws were amazing And when he looked out
through
the bars
of
the
area
You
never
saw
anything
