Grizabella, The Glamour Cat / Memory (Medley) - Andrew Lloyd Webber & "Cats" 1983 Broadway Cast

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat If you offer me peasant 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 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 call for me to shout it For he will do as he do do And there's no doing anything abou-a-wow-t 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 But I make such a fuss if I can't get out The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat And there isn't any use for you to doubt it For he will do as he do do And there's no doing anything abou-a-wow-a-wow-t 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 For I only like what I find for myself Mmm! 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 on 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-a-wow-a-wow-a-wow-a-wowt it

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 upon 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 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 So when she has got them lined up on the matting She teaches them Music, crocheting, and tatting I have a Gumbie Cat in mind Her name is Jennyanydots Her equal would be hard to find She likes the warm and sunny spots All day she sits beside the hearth Or on the bed or my hat She sits and sits and sits and sits And that's what makes a Gumbie Cat That's what makes a Gumbie Cat But When the day's hustle and bustle is done Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun As she finds that the mice will not ever keep quiet She is sure it is due to Irregular diet And believing that Nothing is done without trying She sets right to work with her baking and frying She makes them a mouse-cake of bread and dried peas And a beautiful fry of lean bacon and cheese 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 window-sill 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 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 prevent 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 So for Old Gumbie Cats let us now give three cheers On whom well-ordered households depend, it appears Three cheers, three cheers, three cheers For she's a jolly good fellow Thank you, my dears

Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark? Can 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 walk 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 or hell? 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 We can dive through the air like a flying trapeze We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire We can run up a wall, we can swing through the trees We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Can you sing at the same time in more than one key? 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 Jellicles do and Jellicles can Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicle cats sing Jellicle chants Jellicles old and Jellicles new Jellicle songs and Jellicle dance Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Practical cats, dramatical cats Pragmatical cats, fanatical cats Oratorical cats, delphioracle cats Skeptical cats, dispeptical cats Romantical cats, pedantical cats Critical cats, parasitical cats Allegorical cats, metaphorical cats Statistical cats and mystical cats Political cats, hypocritical cats Clerical cats, hysterical cats Cynical cats, rabbinical cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle bells that Jellicles ring Jellicle sharps and Jellicle flats Jellicle songs that Jellicles sing 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 There's a man over there with a look of surprise As much as to say, "Well now how about that!" Do I actually see with my own very eyes A man who's not heard of a Jellicle cat? What's a Jellicle cat? What's a Jellicle cat?

Che:] High flying, adored So young, the instant queen A rich beautiful thing, of all the talents A cross between a fantasy of the bedroom and a saint You were just a backstreet girl Hustling and fighting, scratching and biting High flying, adored Did you believe in your wildest moments All this would be yours That you'd become the lady of them all? Were there stars in your eyes When you crawled in at night From the bars, from the sidewalks From the gutter theatrical Don't look down, it's a long, long way to fall High flying, adored What happens now, where do you go from here? For someone on top of the world The view is not exactly clear A shame you did it all at twenty-six There are no mysteries now Nothing can thrill you, noone fulfill you High flying, adored I hope you come to terms with boredom So famous so easily, so soon It's not the wisest thing to be You won't care if they love you It's been done before You'll despair if they hate you You'll be drained of all energy All the young who've made it would agree High flying, adored That's good to hear but unimportant My story's quite usual Local girl makes good, weds famous man I was stuck in the right place at the perfect time Filled a gap, I was lucky But one thing I'll say for me Noone else can fill it like I can
