这里，不见得一定是黑暗的世界。
事实上，正因为周围的黑暗，聚光灯下的人才会格外明艳。正如下雨的夜里，一盏昏黄的路灯也会引人无限梦想。光和影交界的地方，注定会有火花产生。

这里，就是音乐剧的世界。

舞台是个神秘的地方，在这里人们用本身的能量引燃火花。在舞台上，不曾倾进全部热忱和心血，不真心热爱舞台的人，是不可能留下半点痕迹的。

而还有一个条件，就是才能。

每一部成功的音乐剧背后，都有各种各样有才能的人，为它付出他们所能付出的一切，可以说，缺少任何一个环节，音乐剧都不会成功。

成功的音乐剧，毫无疑问《猫》是其中之一

午夜的破烂场，猫儿轻巧而缓慢地一只接一只从隐蔽的地方钻出来。 今夜是一个特殊的夜晚，因为一年里，只有今夜，猫儿们聚集在破烂场里，庆祝只属于洁里珂的荣耀。

在这一场，每一只猫都有机会出场亮像。他们的歌声讲述了洁里珂猫的轻巧体态和独特性情，而他们 的舞蹈节奏明快，动作流畅，与欢快的歌声相合。在这一场里，应该是所有的演员一起上场的，就连后面才要介 绍的 Grizabella、Old Deuteronomy 等有特色的猫，在这一场也穿着普通猫的戏装上场。

Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?
Dare you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?
Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark?
Are you cock of the wall when you're walking alone?

Because Jellicles are and Jellicles do
Jellicles do and Jellicles would
Jellicles would and Jellicles can
Jellicles can and Jellicles do

When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet?
Are you tense when you sense there's a storm in the air?
Can you find your way blind when you're lost in the street?
Do you know how to go to the Heaviside Layer?

Because Jellicles can and Jellicles do
Jellicles do and Jellicles can
Jellicles can and Jellicles do
Jellicles do and Jellicles can
Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?
Familiar with candle, with book and with bell?
Were you Whittington's friend? The Pied Piper's assistant?
Have you been an alumnus of heaven and hell?

Are you mean like a minx? Are you lean like a lynx?
Are you keen to be seen when you're smelling a rat?
Were you there when the pharaohs commissioned the Sphinx?
If you were, and you are, you're a Jellicle cat

Duets by Rossini and waltzes by Strauss
And can you (as cats do) begin with a C
That always triumphantly brings down the house?

Jellicle cats are queen of the nights
Singing at astronomical heights
Handling pieces from the messiah
Hallelujah, angelical choir

The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity
Round the cathedral rang "Vivat!"
Life to the everlasting cat!
Feline, fearless, faithful and true
To others who do-what

Solo:
There's a man over there with a look of surprise
As much as to say well now, how about that?

Munkustrap:
Do I actually see with my own very eyes
A man who's not heard of a Jellicle cat?
What's a Jellicle cat?
All:
What's a Jellicle cat?

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 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 is 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 as 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 never will guess
The name that no human research can discover
But the at himself knows, and will never confess

When you notice a cat in profound meditation
The reason, I tell you, is always the same
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
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

歌曲名：The invitation to the jellicle ball

专辑名：Cats（Original London Cast）

洁里珂猫对同类发出的邀请，由 Mistoffelees 略带童音的动情呼唤开场。然后， Munkustrap 向其他的猫，尤其是还没有参加过洁里珂舞会的小猫解释了舞会的意义：在今晚月亮最圆的 安静时刻，猫群的首领 Old Deuteronomy 将会出现，只有他有权利选出一只能够获得重生的猫。

接下来，纯白的幼猫 Victoria 有一段独舞，象徵著舞会的正式开始。

这一场的音乐安静甜美，Victoria 的独舞更是灵活美妙，技术高超。再有的一点就是，这一场标志着《猫》的起始部份的结束。许多特殊的猫也从场上下去，直到介绍到他们时才上来。

Mistoffelees:
Jellicle cats come out tonight
Jellicle cats come one come all
The Jellicle moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Jellicle cats come out tonight
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
All:
Jellicle cats come out tonight
Jellicle cats come one come all
The Jellicle moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Jellicle cats come out tonight
Jellicle cats come one come all
The Jellicle moon is shining bright
Jellicles 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 a different Jellicle Life
For waiting up there is the Heaviside Layer
With wonders one Jellicle only will see
Jellicles ask because Jellices dare
Who will it be?

所有的猫儿都想被他们的首领选中，从而获得重生。这一首歌，是 Munkustrap 的推荐。

老甘比猫其实是 JennyAnyDots 的别称，她被称为甘比猫是因为"她整天坐着坐着坐着坐 着，这就是一只甘比猫"。这大约也是甘比（又一个在字典上查不到的词）的含义。

但是老甘比猫并不是总这样懒的。白天里她什么也不干，但是到了晚上，她就会充满 活力，在房子里四下走动。她教导"没有教养"的老鼠们音乐和编织，希望这能使他们有文化一点。她也很 为没有事做的蟑螂们担心，所以她总要让他们忙得透不过气来，甚至调教出一队蟑螂的军事演习来。 JennyAnyDots 也很关系小猫的生活，好像是猫群的妈妈一样。大家都很喜欢她，高兴地为她伴舞。

这一首歌有好几个段落，前一段由 Munkustrap 演唱，十分悠扬。（这首歌的头两句，如果你仔细听，会觉得 和香港的 Beyond 的一首歌"大地"很像。尤其"大地"里的"眼前不是我熟悉的双眼，陌生的感觉一点点" 一句－－记忆中的歌词，如哪位看官知道确切歌词，请告诉我。）接下来 JennyAnyDots 在夜晚工作的一段， 音乐转成明快的爵士乐，由三个女高音：Jellylorum，Bombalurina 和 Demeter 演唱。最后是一段由大家 都上场的爵士舞。

Munkustrap:
I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots
Her coat is of the tabby kind with tiger stripes and leopard spots
All day she sits beneath the stairs or on the steps or on the mat
She sits and sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat
That's what makes a Gumbie Cat

Jellylorum, Bombalurina, Demeter:
But
When the day's hustle and bustle is done
Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun
And when all the family's in bed and asleep
She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep
She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice
Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice
And when she has got them lined up on the matting
She teaches them music, crocheting and tatting

Munkustrap:
I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots
The curtain cord she likes to wind and tie it into sailor knots
She sits upon the windowsill, or anything that's smooth and flat
She sits and sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat
That's what makes a Gumbie Cat

Jellylorum, Bombalurina, Demeter:
But
When the day's hustle and bustle is done
Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun
She thinks that the cockroaches need employment
To protect them from idle and wanton destroyment

So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts
A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts
With a purpose in life and a good deed to do
And she's even created a Beetles Tattoo!

All:
For she's a jolly good fellow!

Jennyanydots:
Thank you my dears

歌曲名：The rum tum tugger
歌手名：群星
专辑名：Cats（Original London Cast）

老甘比猫 JennyAnyDots 的音乐刚到尾声，就被下一只猫，Rum Tum  Tugger 的入场打断了。 Rum Tum Tugger 被称为好奇的猫。但是也许他更应该被叫做受宠的猫。他的人类家庭对他百依百顺，养成了他骄 傲自大，喜欢惹人注意，又十分挑剔的习惯。在他的歌里，他告诉大家他只喜欢没有的东西，到了手里就又不喜欢了 ：如果你给他家鼠，他只想要田鼠；可要是你给他田鼠，他又觉得家鼠的味道好。他出了门就想回去，回到屋里又想 出去。他要求别人给他想要的东西，可是人要是真的给了他，他又觉得还是自己去找到得好。

Rum Tum Tugger 是只相貌威风的公猫，他是唯一颈边有鬃毛的猫，看上去好像雄狮一样出众。他是猫中摇 滚歌星般的人物，十分受母猫们的喜爱，尤其是一群小猫更喜欢围着他打转，为他的每句歌词倾倒。

Rum Tum Tugger 的歌，也如他的人一样，是快速的摇滚乐。Rum Tum Tugger 的演员大多有轻微的鼻 音，因此听起来好听而且有一点讨人喜欢的蛮横霸道的神气。他的舞蹈不多，一说是因为鬃毛太重。他只是在所有 人视线的中心任意游走，挑逗追逐着他小母猫们。

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

If you offer me pheasant I'd rather have grouse
If you put me in a house I would much prefer a flat
If you put me in a flat then I'd rather have a house
If you set me on a mouse then I'd only want a rat
If you set me on a rat then I'd rather chase a mouse

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
And there isn't any need for me to shout it
For he will do as he do do
And there's no doing anything about it

The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore

When you let me in, then I want to go out
I'm always on the wrong side of every door
As soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about
I like to lie in the bureau drawer
And I make such a fuss if I can't get out

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

And there isn't any need for you to doubt it
For he will do as he do do
And there's no doing anything about it

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast

My disobliging ways are a matter of habit
If you offer me fish then I always want a feast
When there isn't any fish then I won't eat rabbit
If you offer me cream then I sniff and sneer
But I only like what I find for myself
So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears
If you put it away on the larder shelf

The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing
The Rum Tum Tugger

Doesn't care for a cuddle
But I'll leap in your lap in the middle of your sewing
For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
And there isn't any need for me to spout it

For he will do as he do do

And there's no doing anything abou-----t it!

歌曲名：Grizabella
歌手名：群星
专辑名：Cats（Original London Cast）

Rum Tum Tugger 的歌结束时，Grizabella 首次上场了。她的衣裳褴褛，神色疲惫。Rum Tum Tugger对她威胁地直立起鬃毛，傲然地擦着她的身边下场。

几只小猫可怜 Grizabella 的悲惨样子，想凑过去安慰她，却被年纪大的猫们拉开了。

Demeter 走上前，仿佛要抚摸 Grizabella，可是在最后一刹那失去了勇气，悲伤地 逃开了。Grizabella 哀怨地歌声责备挡在她面前的 Munkustrap。

Demeter 和 Bombalurina 在一旁唱出了她的身份：原来她就是当年骄傲美丽的魅美之猫 Grizabella。她在年 轻的时候就离开了猫群去看外面的世界，成为猫儿们不可饶恕的叛徒。现在她历尽艰辛，狼狈地回来时，猫儿们 仍然不肯原谅她。Grizabella 只好又哀伤地下场了。

Grizabella:
Remark the cat who hesitates towards you
In the light of the door which opens on her like a grin
You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand
And you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin

Demeter:
She haunted many a low resort near the grimy road of Tottenham Court
She flitted about the no man's land
From "The Rising Sun" to "The Friend at Hand"
And the postman sighed as he scratched his head
"You'd really had thought she ought to be dead"
And who would ever suppose that that was Grizabella the Glamour Cat

Bombalurina:
Grizabella the Glamour Cat, Grizabella the Glamour Cat

歌曲名：Bust opher jones
歌手名：群星
专辑名：Cats（Original London Cast）

Grizabella 下场之后，场上的气氛又欢快起来。JennyAnyDots 开始介绍她的好 朋友，神气的胖猫 Bustopher Jones。Bustopher Jones 是所有猫群的骄傲，因为他是猫里的绅士 ，不 光有身份，而且还吃遍了英国的酒店和饭馆。

Bustopher Jones 坐下来给小猫们唱了一段歌曲，又送给了 JennyAnyDots 一 朵鲜艳的红花。

这一场有一点过渡的性质，尤其为了冲淡 Grizabella 上场时带来的沉 重，歌曲都十分轻松，但不见得会像其他的歌那样给人留下深刻印像。也基本上没有舞蹈。Bustopher Jones 身穿黑白相间的礼服，用一只小汤匙作拐杖。后来他用汤匙作高尔夫球棒打球，十分可爱。

JennyAnyDots, Bombalurina, Jellylorum:
Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones
In fact, he's remarkably fat
He doesn't haunt pubs, he has eight or nine clubs
For he's the St. James's Street Cat
He's the cat we all greet as he walks down the street
In his coat of fastidious black
No common-place mousers have such well cut trousers
Or such an impeccable back
In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is
The name of this brummel of cats
And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to
By Bustopher Jones in white spats

In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is
The name of this brummel of cats
And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to
By Bustopher Jones in white spats

Bustopher Jones:
My visits are occasional to the Senior Educational
And it is against the rules
For any one cat to belong both to that
And the Joint Superior Schools

For a similar reason when game is in season
I'm found not at Fox's but Blimp's
I am frequently seen at the gay Stage and Screen
Which is famous for winkles and shrimps

In the season of venison I give my Benison
To the Pothunter's succulent bones
And just before noon's not a moment too soon
To drop in for a drink at the Drones

When I'm seen in a hurry there's probably curry
At the Siamese or at the Glutton
When I look full of gloom then I've lunched at the Tomb
On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton

Jellylorum:
In the whole of St. James's is the smartest of names
Is the name of this brummel of cats
And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to
By Bustopher Jones in white, Bustopher Jones in white
Bustopher Jones in white spats

So much in this way passes Bustopher's day
At one club or another he's found
It can be no surprise that under our eyes
He has grown unmistakably round

He's a twenty-five pounder or I am a bounder

And he's putting on weight everyday

But I'm so well preserved because I've observed
All my life a routine, and I'd say
I am still in the prime, I shall last out my time
That's the word from the stoutest of cats

It must and it shall be spring in Pall Mall
While Bustopher Jones wears white, Bustopher Jones wears white
Bustopher Jones wears white spats

突然一声怪响，随之传来警号和红闪光灯。恶猫 Macavity 的脸出现在舞台一角，所有的猫 在 Munkustrap 的保护下逃离的舞台，Munkustrap 在四下里搜索一遍之后也下场了。

两声咯咯的笑声，把 Mungojerrie 和 Rumpleteazer 这两只小偷儿带到来场上。

Mungojerrie 和 Rumpleteazer 身上背着小包袱，大约是刚刚作案归来。在歌里他们告诉观众，他们 喜欢和人类开玩笑，不是乱拉抽屉，就是偷走主人宴客时客人的珠宝。可是人们也拿他们没办法，他们甚至分 不清究竟是哪一只猫做的坏事，因为 Mungojerrie 和 Rumpleteazer 长得一模一样。

Mungojerrie 和 Rumpleteazer 的动作灵敏，神态顽皮，大约还是刚刚成年的小猫。 Mungojerrie 是个滑稽的男孩子，Rumpleteazer 则是个机灵的女孩。他们的歌舞节奏都很快，很讨 人喜爱。在他们的歌结束的时候，其他的猫一起冲上舞台，把他们围住不让他们逃走。从此 Mungojerrie 和 Rumpleteazer 就一直留在台上。猫群显然并不因为他们是小偷就排挤他们。 还有一点就是，他们的歌常常是由不同的人演唱。据说只有录象带版的《猫》里，Mungojerrie 和 Rumpleteazer 的歌才是有 Mungojerrie 和 Rumpleteazer 本人演唱，其他的时候，不是 Munkustrap 或 Mistoffelees 代唱，就是由 Mungojerrie 一个人唱两个人的歌。这也许和他们要求高的舞蹈有关，在 舞台上跳动作幅度大的舞蹈，很难一起发出嘹亮的歌声。

Demeter:
Macavity!

Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer/Mistoffelees:
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats
They/We had an extensive reputation, they/we made their home in Victoria Grove
That was merely their/our center of operation for they/we were incurably given to rove

If the area window was found ajar and the basement looked like a field of war
If a tile or two came loose on the roof which presently ceased to be waterproof
If the drawers were pulled out from the bedroom chest
And you couldn't find one of your winter vests
Or after supper one of the girls suddenly missed her Woolworth pearls

Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat!"
It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer
And most of the time they left it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had an unusual gift of the gab
They were highly efficient cat burglars as well and remarkably smart at a smash and grab
They made their home in Victoria Grove, they had no regular occupation
They were plausible fellows who liked to engage a friendly policeman in conversation

When the family assembled for Sunday dinner
Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner on
Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes
And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow
"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow
The joint has gone from the oven like that!"

And the family would say, "It's that horrible cat!
It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!"
And most of the time they left it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had a wonderful way of working together
And some of the time you would say it was luck and some of the time you would say it was weather
They'd/We go through the house like a hurricane and no sober person would take his oath
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer? Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?
And when you heard a dining room smash or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
Or down from the library came a loud ping
From a vase that was commonly said to be Ming
Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat?
It was Mungoherrie and Rumpleteazer and there's nothing at all to be done about that!"

猫儿们再次重聚舞台，Munstrap 给没有见过老德特的小猫们讲述这位猫群首领的事迹。

Rum Tum Tugger 也在一半的时候加入，表现出他对 Old Deuteronomy 的尊敬。（Munkustrap 对 此表现得极其感动，好像从来不敢奢望傲慢的 Rum Tum Tugger 也尊敬 Old Deuteronomy。）

这首歌是赞美 Old Deuteronomy 一生经历的歌，表明了 Old Deuteronomy 在猫群里的身份。但除了强 调 Old Deuteronomy 的寿命之长，歌里并没有太多描述 Old Deuteronomy 业绩的段落。反复唱段都是 咏叹"是，不，喔，啊！我想我看到了 Old Deuteronomy。"歌曲结束的时候 Old Deuteronomy 上场， 所有的猫都冲上去拥抱住他，表现了对他无比的尊敬和崇拜。

这首歌由两位男高音合唱，他们的音质优美，歌曲悠扬，十分动听。

Solo:
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

All:
Well of all things can it be really
Yes, No, ho, hi, oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Munkustrap:
Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time
He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession
He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme
A long while before Queen Victoria's accession

Rum Tum Tugger:
Old Deuteronomy's buried nine lives
And more I am tempted to say ninety-nine
And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives
And the village is proud of him in his decline

Munkustrap:
At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy
When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall
The oldest inhabitant croaks

Munkustrap, Rum Tum Tugger:
Well of all things can it be really
Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

All:
Well of all things can it be really
Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Well of all things can it be really
Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Well of all things can it be really
Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!

Old Deuteronomy:
My legs may be tottery I must go slow
And be careful of Old Deuteronomy

忽然恶猫 Macavity 再次出现，所有的猫儿纷纷躲在角落里。Munkustrap 保护在 Old Deuteronomy前面，警惕地留在场中心。幸好 Macavity 只是在场边现一下身就消失了。

几只小猫在 Old Deuteronomy 的安抚下开始重新歌唱，由此带动了所有的猫儿再度集合表演的舞会。

歌曲重复了"洁利珂舞会的邀请"的一段。这一场舞蹈则包括了 Victoria 和其他几只公猫（Mistoffelees，Alonzo，和没有上火车猫妆的 Skimbleshanks）的合舞。可以想见，舞会已达到高潮。



Old Deuteronomy:
Jellicle cats come out tonight
Jellicle cats come one, come all
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Solo:
Jellicle cats are black and white
Jellicle cats are rather small
Jellicle cats are merry and bright
And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul

Jellicle cats have cheerful faces
Jellicle cats have bright black eyes
We like to practice our airs and graces
And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise

Jellicle cats develop slowly
Jellicle cats are not too big
Jellicle cats are roly poly
We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig
Until the Jellicle Moon appears
We make our toilette and take our repose
Jellicles wash behind their ears
Jellicles dry between their toes

Jellicle cats are white and black
Jellicle cats are of moderate size
Jellicles jump like a jumping jack
Jellicle cats have moonlit eyes

We're quiet enough in the morning hours
We're quiet enough in the afternoon
Reserving our terpsichorean powers
To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon

Jellicle cats are black and white
Jellicle cats (as we said) are small
If it happens to be a stormy night
We will pracitce a caper or two in the hall

If it happens the sun is shining bright
You would say we had nothing to do at all
We are resting and saving ourselves to be right
For the Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball

All:
Jellicle cats come out tonight
Jellicle cats come one, come all
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Grizabella 第二次上场，所有的猫依然拒绝接纳她，Grizabella 被孤伶伶地留在舞台 中心。
Grizabella 努力地想重现当年的美丽时光，但是她已经年老体弱，永远不能再像 从前那样轻盈的舞蹈了。这时，她唱出了《猫》剧的名曲"记忆"。Old Deuteronomy 在舞台的背景里，听 了她的歌声似乎很有感触。可是 Grizabella 没能看到他伸出的手，Old Deuteronomy 哀伤地看着她黯然下场。

Grizabella:
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

年老体弱的 Gus，被 Jellylorum 搀扶着来到舞台上，其他的猫纷纷起身给他最好的座位。

Old Deuteronomy 提醒所有的猫儿， 快乐的本意不光是在现在，还有值得怀念的过去时光。

小猫 Jemima 用清脆的歌声唱出 Grizabella 的"记忆"的旋律，她稚嫩的童音，道出了《猫》剧 的内涵"让回忆牵引你，展开心扉，如果你在那里发现了快乐的意义，一个新的生命就会在你面前展开。"

猫儿们听了这些话，似乎有所触动。

Old Deuteronomy:
The moments of happiness
We had the experience but missed the meaning
And approach to the meaning restores the experience
In a different form beyond any meaning we can assign to happiness
The past experience revived in the meaning
Is not the experience of one life only
But of many generations
Not forgetting something that is probably quite ineffable

Jemima:
Moonlight. Turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin

Gus 一直由 Jellylorum 照顾，因此也由 Jellylorum 向大家介绍他这只戏院里的猫。

别看现在的 Gus 又老又瘦，而且因为生病爪子也止不住的颤抖。可是 Gus 在年轻的时候，可是戏院里鼎鼎大名的演员。他曾经扮演过数不胜数的优秀角色，甚至有一次谢幕七次之多。老 Gus 也自豪地诉说当年他精湛的演技，而且还有更重要的，现在的小猫们所没有的，认真踏实的态度。

"现在的小猫们，可不像我们当年受过那么严格的训练。他们只会耍些小聪明，还以为蹦蹦跳跳就能当好演员。"

"这些现代戏么，也都不错，可是，不能和我们当年相比。" －－ Gus 要是会说中文，一定就会说出"真是一代不如一代"的话啦。

老 Gus 回忆着自己当年演过的角色，他明白那些辉煌时光再不回来，十分哀伤。

Jellylorum:
Gus is the cat at the theatre door
His name as I ought to have told you before
Is really Asparagus, and that's such a fuss to pronounce
That we usually call him just Gus
His coat's very shabby, he's thin as a rake
And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake
Yet he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats
But no longer a terror to mice or to rats

For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime
Though his name was quite famous, he says, in his time
And whenever he joins his friends at their club
(Which takes place at the back of the neighboring pub)
He loves to regale them, if someone else pays
With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days
For he once was a star of the highest degree
He has acted with Irving, he's acted with Tree
And he likes to relate his success on the halls
Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls
But his greatest creation as he loves to tell
Is Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell

Gus:
I have played in my time every possible part
And I used to know seventy speeches by heart
I'd extemporize backchat, I knew how to gag
And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag
I knew how to act with my back and my tail
With an hour of rehearsal, I never could fail
I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts
Whether I took the lead, or in character parts
I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell
When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell
In the pantomime season I never fell flat
And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat
But my greatest creation, as history will tell
Was Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell

Jellylorum:
Then, if someone will give him a toothful of gin
He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne
At a Shakespeare performance he once walked on pat
When some actor suggested the need for a cat

Gus:
And I say now these kittens, they do not get trained
As we did in the days when Victoria reigned
They never get drilled in a regular troupe
And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop

Jellylorum:
And he says as he scratches himself with his claws
Well the theatre is certainly not what it was
These modern productions are all very well
But there's nothing to equal, from what I hear tell
That moment of mystery when I made history
As Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell

Gus:
I once crossed the stage on a telephone wire
To rescue a child when a house was on fire
And I think that I still can much better than most
Produce blood curdling noises to bring on the ghost
And I once played Growltiger
Could do it again, could do it again
Could do it again

这一首歌的场面很大，是《猫》全剧唯一的一次场景改换（由破烂堆转为荡漾碧波中的船只和小岛 ）。这其实是老演员 Gus 一段关于当年演出的回忆。很可惜这首歌，及后面的"比利·麦库尔的叙事诗" 都没有被《猫》的录象带收录。

格若泰格的最后一战，讲的是海盗格若泰格（Growltiger），在海上危害四方，罪大恶极。

可是一天他见到美丽的母猫 Griddlebone，受其迷惑，竟没能看到猫群的追杀，终于在最后一战之中落水而亡。

在这一段里，Gus 扮演 Growltiger。（据说在舞台上，Gus 在唱完"Gus： 剧院的 猫"之后，突然挥去身上残旧破烂的老皮，摇身变成英武雄壮的大海盗 Growltiger。）Jellylorum 身着 白衣扮演 Griddlebone。其他几只公猫（通常是 Munkustrap，Skimbleshanks，Rum Tum Tugger， Mistoffelees 和 Alonzo）先是扮演被 Growltiger 袭击的商船船员，后来扮演冲上来杀害 Growltiger 的一群狸猫。

虽然听来也许像是个坏人罪有应得的故事，可是由于 Growltiger 与 Griddlebone 对唱情歌真挚动人，而后 在 Growltiger 被人围功的时候 Griddlebone 却偷偷溜掉，Growltiger 反而变成了让人怜悯的悲剧英雄。

Growltiger was a bravo cat who travelled on a barge
In fact he was the roughest cat to ever roam at large
From Gravesend up to Oxford he pursued his evil aims
Rejoicing in his title of The Terror of the Thames

His manners and appearance did not calculate to please
His coat was torn and seedy, it was baggy at the knees
One ear was somewhat missing, no need to tell you why
And he scowled upon a hostile world from one forbidding eye

The cottagers of Rotherhithe knew something of his fame
At Hammersmith and Putney people shuddered at his name
They would fortify the henhouse, lock up the silly goose
When the rumor ran along the shore: Growltiger's on the loose!

Woe to the weak canary that fluttered from its cage
Woe to the pampered Pekinese, that faced Growltiger's rage
Woe to the bristly bandicoot, that lurked on foreign ships
And woe to any cat with whom Growltiger came to grips

But most to cats of foreign race his hatred had been vowed
To cats of foreign name and race no quarter was allowed
The Persian and the Siamese regarded him with fear
Because it was a Siamese had mauled his missing ear

Now on a peaceful summer night all nature seemed at play
The tender moon was shining bright, the barge at Molsey lay
All in the balmy moonlight it lay rocking on the tide
And Growltiger was disposed to show his sentimental side

In the forepeak of the vessel Growltiger stood alone
Concentrating my attention on the lady Griddlebone
And my raffish crew were sleeping in their barrels and their bunks
As the Siamese came creeping in their sampans and their junks

Growltiger had no eye or ear for aught but Griddlebone
And the lady seemed enraptured by my manly baritone
Disposed to relaxation and awaiting no surprise
But the moonlight shone reflected from a thousand bright blue eyes

And closer still and closer the sampans circled round
And yet from all the enemy there was not heard a sound
The foe was armed with toasting forks and cruel carving knives
As the lovers sang their last duet in danger of their lives

In una tepida notte d'estate, allorche la natura
Era nel pieno fulgore, e la resca rugiada
Splendeva al chiar di luna sopra la verzura
Si poteva vedere il galeone ancorato
Oscillare in silenzio nel vento profumato
Dalla marea del naviglio serenamente cullato
In quella tepida notte che c'e dunque di male
Se in tnata poesia anche il pirata divento sentimentale?
Oscillare in silenzio nel vento profumato
Dalla marea do naviglio serenamente cullato
In quella tepida notte
In quella tepida notte
In quella tepida notte

Then Genghis gave the signal to his fierce Mongolian hordes
Abandoning their sampans, the chinks they swarmed aboard
Abandoning their sampans, their pullaway, their junks
They battened down the hatches on the crew within their bunks

Then Griddlebone she gave a screech for she was badly skeered
I am sorry to admit it, but she quickly disappeared
She probably escaped with ease, I'm sure she was not drowned
But a serried ring of flashing steel Growltiger did surround

The ruthless foe pressed forward in stubborn rank on rank
Growltiger to his vast surprise was forced to walk the plank
He who a hundred victims had driven to that drop
At the end of all his crimes was forced to go kerflip, kerflop

Oh there was joy in Wapping when the news flew through the land
At Maidenhead and Henley there was dancing on the strand
Rats were roasted whole at Brentford and Victoria Dock
And a day of celebration was commanded in Bangkok!

These modern productions are all very well
But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell
That moment of mystery when I made history...

火车上的猫 Skimbleshanks 即使与 Old Deuteronomy 没有血缘关系，他也无疑被猫儿们看作最可爱的叔叔。他的到来，使场上充满了快乐的气氛，所有的猫儿为他唱歌伴舞，和谐欢快的场面只有 JennyAnyDots 的歌"老甘比猫"可以媲美。

Skimbleshanks 是一只在火车上举足轻重的猫。如果没有他细心周密的监督，整个火车就无法顺利运行。Skimbleshanks 照顾着旅客、行李、车厢，甚至连车上的工人和列车长也得听他调度。在半夜里他也不会闲下来，而是在火车上下巡逻视察，因为有责任心的 Skimbleshanks 从不让事情出一点差错。

猫群里的大猫小猫对劳苦功高的 Skimbleshanks 十分尊敬。他们用雨伞，埽笊，自行车轮和探照灯为 Skimbleshanks 装配了一辆火车，在这首歌结束的时候，大家把他像英雄一样高举起来。 这一段的舞蹈虽然不多，但是场上的活动纷繁多样，带了一点儿童剧式的灵活多变的色彩。而且这首歌的节奏十分明快，曲调流畅，是剧中较有名的曲目之一。

All:
Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train

There's a whisper down the line at eleven thirty-nine
When the night mail's ready to depart
Saying, "Skimble, where is Skimble has he gone to hunt the thimble
We must find him or the train can't start"

Skimbleshanks:
All the guards and all the porters and the station master's daughters
Would be searching high and low
Saying "Skimble where is Skimble for unless he's very nimble
Then the night mail just can't go."
At eleven forty-two with the signal overdue
And the passengers all frantic to a man
That's when I would appear and I'd saunter to the rear
I'd been busy in the luggage van!
Then he gave one flash of his glass-green eyes
And the signal went "all clear"
They'd be off at last for the northern part of the northern hemisphere!

All:
Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train
Skimbleshanks:
You might say that by and large it was me who was in charge
Of the Sleeping Car Express
From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards
I would supervise them all more or less
Down the corridor he paces and examines all the faces
Of the travellers in the first and the third
He established control by a regular patrol
and he'd know at once if anything occurred.
And he'd watch you without winking and he saw what you were thinking
And it's certain that he didn't approve
Of hilarity and riot so that folks were very quiet
When Skimble was about and on the move
You could play no pranks with Skimbleshanks
He's a cat that couldn't be ignored
So nothing went wrong on the Northern Mail
When Skimbleshanks was aboard

It was very pleasant when they'd found their little den
With their name written up on the door
And the berth was very neat with a newly folded sheet
And not a speck of dust upon the floor
There was every sort of light you could make it dark or bright
And a button you could turn to make a breeze
And a funny little basin you're supposed to wash your face in
And a crank to shut the window should you sneeze
Then the guard looked in politely and would ask you very brightly
Would you like your morning tea weak or strong?
But I was right behind him and was ready to remind him
For Skimble won't let anything go wrong

All:
When they crept into their cosy berth and pulled up the counterpane
They all could reflect that it was very nice
To know that they wouldn't be bothered by mice
They can leave all that to the railway cat
The cat of the railway train
Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train

Skimbleshanks:
In the watches of the night I was always fresh and bright
Every now and then I'd have a cup of tea
With perhaps a drop of scotch while I was keeping on the watch
Only stopping here and there to catch a flea
They were fast asleep at Crewe
And so they never knew that I was walking up and down the station
They were sleeping all the while I was busy at Carlisle
Where I met the station master with elation

They might see me at Dumfries if I summoned the police
If there was anything they ought to know about
When they got to Gallowgate there they did not have to wait
For Skimbleshanks would help them to get out

All:
And he gives a wave of his long brown tail
Which says "I'll see you again"
You will meet without fail on the midnight mail
The Cat of the Railway Train

You will meet without fail on the midnight mail
The Cat of the Railway Train

歌曲名：Macavity
歌手名：群星
专辑名：Cats（Original London Cast

这一段的风格急转，由无忧无虑的旋律直落成神秘阴暗，流利婉转的爵士乐。许多故事的关键情节也都发生在这一首歌里。 Skimbleshanks 的歌被 Macavity 的到来打断。这一次，Macavity 不再隐藏在幕后冷笑，而是直接闯到场上，带领他的老鼠爪牙截走了 Old Deuteronomy。

全场的猫儿都被这突然的变化惊呆了。在 Munkustrap 带领其他猫追赶 Macavity 的时候，两只曾经与 Macavity 相识的母猫，Demeter 和 Bombalurina，向躲在角落里的小猫们讲述 Macavity 这一只神秘的罪犯猫。

Macavity 人称"隐藏的魔爪"，因为他虽然罪大恶极，可是从没有人抓住过他犯罪的证据。他看起来总是半睡半醒，无所事事的样子，其实那只是他在深思熟虑时的伪装。 无论他做了什么坏事，比如偷人家的牛奶，打碎暖房的玻璃，Macavity 总能抓出一两个证人证明他不在案发现场。因此就连苏格兰场也没有他的犯罪案底。

Macavity 自在地萧遥于法外，在幕后操纵着无数恶行。Demeter 和 Bombalurina 愤怒的称他为 "犯罪界的拿破伦"。 这一段里，两只母猫载歌载舞，歌声亮丽浑厚，舞蹈柔韧夭娆，是本剧的经典曲目。

Munkustrap 和其他的猫儿没有找到 Old Deuteronomy，失望 的回来，不想几只老鼠忽然带着 Old Deuteronomy 出现。他们解开 Old Deuteronomy 让他回到猫群 之中。在所有的猫兴奋地拥抱 Old Deuteronomy 的时候，Demeter 却连连退缩。只有她看出场上的 Old Deuteronomy 不是本人。最后，她终于冲上前去揭开 Old Deuteronomy 的灰皮，原来皮的下藏着 的是大犯罪者 Macavity！

Macavity 被揭露了面目，放肆地伸出利爪，在猫群里四下抓咬，猖 狂到极点。可是在他又一次抓住 Demeter，想要截持她的时候，Munkustrap 和 Alonzo 冲上去救 下了 Demeter。

然后，Munkustrap 和 Macavity 展开一场血淋淋的大战。最后 Munkustrap 虽然失败，但是被激怒的猫群勇敢地站起来，团团围攻 Macavity。Macavity 敌不过这么多猫，在受伤之后他抓过场边裸露的电线，使电线造成短路，全场陷入一片黑暗。Macavity 也称着黑暗逃跑了。

黑暗中，受伤的猫儿互相安慰。

Demeter:
Macavity!

Macavity's a mystery cat: He's called the Hidden Paw
For he's a master criminal who can defy the law
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair
For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!

Bombalutina:
Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin
You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in
His brow is deeply lined in thought, his head is highly domed
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He is a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!

Demeter, Bombalutina:
He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards
And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
And when the larder's looted or the jewel cases rifled
Or when the milk is missing or another Peke's been stifled
Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair
There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there!

and they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone
Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
Just controls the operations: The Napoleon of Crime!

Demeter, Bombalutina:
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity, Macavity
Macavity, Macavity
When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!

-- The Fight --

All:
We have to find Old Deuteronomy

歌曲名：Mr mistffolees
歌手名：群星
专辑名：Cats（Original London Cast）

猫群在黑暗中惶恐不安，他们急需要找回 Old Deuteronomy，却又不知道该如何找起。这时候，Rum Tum Tugger 从躲避的地方（他大概是唯一没有参战的成年猫）走出来，向大家介绍了一只年轻的猫：Mistoffelees 先生。

Mistoffelees 是一只有魔力的猫，要说他的魔幻法术，就连人类的魔术师也甘拜下风。他看起来小巧灵活，年轻而且有些害羞，可是他的能力不能让人小看。他能穿过最小的缝隙，也曾在帽子里变出七只小猫，他能使人在空间里跳跃，大家明明在屋里刚看见他，转眼他却在房顶上出现。

Mistoffelees 在 Rum Tum Tugger 的歌声中从天而降。他用魔力引亮了场上的灯，使破烂堆又现光明。

然后，他选 Cassandra 做助手，用一快红绸变回了 Old Deuteronomy。 所有的猫一起为 Old Deuteronomy 的归来和 Mistoffelees 的魔力欢呼。Mistoffelees 自己 也因为有机会为猫群做大事而高兴得连蹦带跳。

这一首歌，在一些版本里是 Rum Tum Tugger 独唱，但也有一些版本里是 Rum Tum Tugger 和 Mistoffelees 合唱。但是舞蹈只有剧团里最优秀的舞者--Mistoffelees 独自承担。这首歌的曲调动听，重复的地方多，因而会给人留下很深的印象。

Rum Tum Tugger:
You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees!
The original Conjuring Cat
The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mr. Mistoffelees conjuring turn

And you'll all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

He is quiet, he is small, he is black
From the ears to the tip of his tail
He can creep through the tiniest crack
He can walk on the narrowest rail
He can pick any card from a pack
He is equally cunning with dice
He is always decieving you into believing
That he's only hunting for mice

He can play any trick with a cork
Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste
If you look for a knife or a fork
And you think it was merely misplaced
You have seen it one moment and then it is gone!
But you find it next week laying out on the lawn

And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

All:
And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Mistoffelees/Rum Tum Tugger:
Well! My manner is vague and aloof
You would think there was nobody shyer
But my voice has been heard on the roof
When I was curled up by the fire
And I've sometimes been heard by the fire
When I was about on the roof
At least they all heard that somebody purred
Which is uncontestable proof of my singular magical powers
And I've known the family to call me in from the garden for hours
When I was asleep in the hall

Rum Tum Tugger:
And not long ago this phenomenal cat
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat

And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

And not long ago this phenomenal cat
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat

And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees
Oh! well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

天色渐渐发白，黎明在即。重新回到猫群里的 Old Deuteronomy 就要在此刻选出登上云外之路的幸运猫儿。忽然小猫 Jemima 站起，唱起了 Grizabella 的歌。

歌声中 Grizabella 再次上场，所有的猫不愿接收她，但也不再敌对，他们分散到场地四周，背对着 Grizabella。Grizabella 悲伤的唱起"记忆"。记忆使她回忆起当年的快乐时光，虽然那些时光不再回来，但她的生命已因它们而完整。一只接一只的，场上的猫儿慢慢转过身来面对 Grizabella 。当善良的白猫 Victoria 再一次站起来触摸 Grizabella 的时候，年长的猫们非但没有阻拦，反而示意她勇敢的上前。

在 Victoria 的带领下，所有的猫都走上前来，用伸出的双手接纳了当年背叛过他们的同类。经过了今晚的事件，他们已经学会了欢乐与谅解的重要。

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

Munkustrap:
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

Grizabella:
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 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
Another day is dawning

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

Sunlight, through the trees in 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

当 Munkustrap 把 Grizabella 带到老德特面前的时候，Old Deuteronomy 欢迎了这终于归家的游子。他决定，Grizabella 就是被送上云外之路的猫。

场中具有神奇魔力的轮胎在 Old Deuteronomy 的召唤下徐徐升起，所有的 猫围聚在一起，用歌声向轮胎上的 Grizabella 道别。轮胎升上半空，金色的云彩降落，Grizabella 在 Old Deuteronomy 的鼓励下走入了美丽的云彩之中。

这一首歌的篇幅很短，是尾声之前的过渡。

All:
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

全剧的最后的一首歌是 Old Deuteronomy 唱给场外听众的。他告诉大家，其实猫和人类没什么不同。经过了这一晚精彩的演出，人类也看到了各种各样的猫儿，也知道了他们的特点和喜好。所以，要是你想得到猫儿的尊敬，就要首先尊重他们。

Old Deuteronomy:
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 play
And learnt about our proper names
Our habits and our 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
Some little token of esteem is needed, like a dish of cream
And you might now and then supply
Some caviar or strassburg 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

All:
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 these evidences of respect
So this is this, and that is that
And there's how you ad-dress a cat
