Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses wither away
Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day

Now 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 a different Jellicle Life

Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
And if you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin

Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over and
Another day is dawning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Sunlight, through the trees in the summer
Endless masquerading
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
The memory is fading

Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember a time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters in the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale, cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun

Up, up, up past the Russell Hotel
Up, up, up, up to the Heaviside Layer
Up, up, up past the Russell Hotel
Up, up, up, up to the Heaviside Layer
Up, up, up past the Russell Hotel
Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer

Up, up, up past the Russell Hotel
Up, up, up, up to the Heaviside layer
Up, up, up past the Jellicle Moon
Up, up, up, up to the Heaviside Layer
Up, up, up past the Jellicle moon
Up, up, up, up to the Heaviside Layer

The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity
Round the cathedral rang 'Vivat'
Life to the everlasting cat!

You've heard of several kinds of cat
And my opinion now is that
You should need no interpreter to understand our character
You've learned enough to take the view
That cats are very much like you
You've seen us both at work and games
And learnt about our proper names
Our habits and habitat
But how would you ad-dress a cat?

So first, your memory I'll jog
And say: a cat is not a dog
So first, your memory I'll jog
And say: a cat is not a dog

With cats, some say one rule is true:
Don't speak 'til you are spoken to
Myself, I do not hold with that
I say you should ad-dress a cat
But always bear in mind that he resents familiarity
You bow and taking off your hat
Ad-dress him in this form, "O' Cat!"

Before a cat will condescend
To treat you as a trusted friend
A little token of esteem is needed like a dish of cream
And you might now and then supply
Some caviar or Straussburg pie
Some potted grouse or salmon paste
He's sure to have his personal taste
And so in time you reach your aim
And call him by his name

A cat's entitled to expect
These evidences of respect
So this is this and that is that
And there's how you ad-dress a cat

A cat's entitled to expect

And there's how you ad-dress a cat
