　　THE NAMING OF CATS

　　All: The naming of cats is a difficult matter

　　It isn't just one of your holiday games

　　You may think at first I'm as 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 ad 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 will never 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

　　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

　　THE INVITATION TO THE JELLICLE BAII

　　Mr Mistoffelees; Jellicle cats come out tonight

　　Jellicle cats come one come all

　　The Jellicle moon is shining bright

　　Jellicle come to the Jellicle ball

　　All: Jellicle cats come out tonight

　　Jellicle cats come one come all

　　The Jellicle moon is shining bright

　　Jellicle come to the Jellicle ball

　　Jellicle cats come out tonight

　　Jellicle cats come one come all

　　The Jellicle moon is shining bright

　　Jellicle come to the Jellicle ball

　　Munkustrap: Jellicle cats meet once a year

　　At the Jellicle ball where we all rejoice

　　And the Jellicle leader will soon appear

　　And make what is known as the Jellicle choice

　　When Old Deuteronomy just before dawn

　　Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife

　　Announces the cat who can now be reborn

　　And come back to disevent Jellicle life

　　For waiting up there is the heaviside layer

　　Full of wonders one Jellicle only will see

　　And Jellicle ask because Jellicle dare

　　Who will it be?

　　THE OLD GIIMBIE CAT

　　Munkustrap: I have a gumbie cat in mind

　　she sits and sits and sits and sits

　　And that's what makes a gumbie cat

　　That's what makes a gumbie cat

　　Trio: But...

　　When the day's hustle and bustle is done

　　Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun

　　Gumbie: Need employment

　　他那难以言说，有时说得出，有是又说不出的

　　高深莫测，非同一般的名字

　　名字、名字、名字、名……
