If you want a beat, Bill Bailey is the one
He'll sit on top of a litter bin and use it as a drum
If you'd like a tune, something more melodic
He'll use anything he can to make something quite symphonic
For Bill is quite unique, in this Jellicle troupe
He can turn quite raucous cats into a honed barbershop group
But in looks he's not alone, another cat looks like him
Tumblebrutus is the one who's almost his kitty twin
Patched with reddish brown, over grubby white
Both quite acrobatic, on their feet quite light
Together they will roam, using their similar looks
To confuse the locals and tourists into dropping edible goods
When people see them, they often stop and stare
As they've never seen such a neatly matched pair
Bill and Tumblebrutus enjoy their little games
As they stalk the back streets and London's little lanes
But when he's on his own, Bill listens for a tune
Which is why he likes to hang around a pub or a saloon
He loves to hear a Jukebox, or a rocking band
Even a karaoke night if that is what's to hand
But his latest little project, a simple, modest plan
Involves all the kitties, the entire Jellicle gang
He's planned a grand performance, a glittery kind of ball
The Regal Jellicle Choir at The Royal Albert Hall
The operation's simple, a nifty work of art
And every choir member really knows their part
Bill would tell you more, but now he has to run
There's a choir to be organised and it's very nearly done.
