The Jellicle boys are uneasy, Jellicle girls beware

Pollicle dogs are on the prowl, there's danger in the air

Pollicle leaders are angry, Macavity's been on their case

Causing chaos under their nose, And they want him out of their face


What has Macavity done?

Inciting riots for fun?

Where on earth has he been?

In the pollicle canteen!

The goal of this criminal dude

Was probably pollicle food

Now they want to get us back

For this wanton and dangerous cat


Now he's had it away, Vanished into the night

The pollicles now look our way, Revenge is on their minds

Barks and growls they make, Snarls and vicious sounds

They are on a kitty hunt, Noses to the ground


What on earth do we do?

It's all cause of you-know-who

The last thing we want is a fight

We don't want to test out their bite

We'll have to stay out of their way

And fight another day

But we'll keep our claws sharp

If a battle is on the cards


If Rumpus Cat were here, we'd stand a better chance

In this our luck is out, and we need better plans

We'll use Mistoffelees' magic, disappear into the air

Like ghosts we'll away into the night, the Pollicles we'll scare.


The battle has come to naught

No way would we get caught

The Pollicle menace has gone

To undo what Macavity's done

Now we must regroup

As a united Jellicle troupe

For the day soon starts anew

And there's important sleeping to do.
