Chapter 4: Prologue: Jellicle songs for Jellicle Cats Part 3.
"Jellicle cats are Queens of the night,"
{What about us Toms?}
[It's a figure of speech!]
"Singing at astronomical heights!"
{What? We're not astronauts!}
[It's. A. Figure. Of. Speech!]
"Handeling pieces from the Messiah!
Hallelujah angelical choir!"
BOOM!
[You upset the mistress again, didn't you?]
{Maybe...}
[Good one! Now we have to sing that all over again!]
"Jellicle cats are Queens of the night,
Singing at astronomical heights!
Handeling pieces from the Messiah!
Hallelujah angelical choir!"
{Oh, now I get it: Handeling pieces from the Messiah!}
[Sheesh! I got that years ago!]
{Well Hoity-toity Mrs. Godlike-smarty-pants! (1)}
[Shhhh! They're doing the solemn bit now!]
{Huh?}
[Just follow whoever is next to you!]
"The mystical divinity,"
{Whats with the stupid hand positions?}
[I don't know!}
"Of unashamed felinity.
Round the Cathedral Rang,
Vi-vaaaaaaat!"
{What does 'Vivat' mean I wonder?}
[Look it up in a dictionary!]
{Okay!}
[Not now! At the end of the ball.]
"Life to the Everlasting Cat!"
[Wow. You can here Alonzo above everyone else (2). The show-off!]
"Feline, fearless, faithful and true to others who do.
What?"
{Try saying that five times fast (3).}
[No.]
"Jellicles do and Jellicles can!
Jellicles can and Jellicles do!
Jellicle cats sing Jellicle chants!"
{We do?}
"Jellicles old and Jellicles new!"
{New? Yes. Old? Defiantly!}
[Why are you so rude?]
{Don't know!}
"Jellicle song and Jellicle dance!"
{What are they?}
[What we're doing now!]
"Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats!
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats!
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats!
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats!"
[Okay now the tricky bit.]
{Whats that?}
[The types of cats.]
"Practical cats, dramatical cats.
Primatical cats, fanatical cats.
Oratorical cats, delphi oracle cats.
Skeptical cats, dispectical cats.
Romantical cats, pedantical cats.
Critical cats, parasitical cats.
Allegorical cats.
Metaphorical cats.
Sadistical cats and mystical cats.
Political cats.
Hypercritical cats, clerical cats, hysterical cats.
Cynical cats rabbinical cats!"
{Woot! We did it, we did it, we did it!}
[We haven't finished yet!]
"Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats!
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats!
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats!
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats!
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats!"
[Now we've finished the song!]
