What's a Jellicle Cat?
[00:08.32] The naming of cats is a difficult matter
[00:12.48] It isn't just one of your holiday games
[00:16.21] You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
[00:20.04] When I tell you a cat must have three different names
[00:24.21] First of all, there's the name that the family use daily
[00:27.79] Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James
[00:31.79] Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey
[00:35.89] All of them sensible, everyday names
[00:39.89] There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter
[00:43.88] Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames
[00:47.51] Such as Plato, Admetas, Electra, Demeter
[00:51.49] But all of them sensible everyday names
[00:55.23] But I tell you a cat needs a name that's particular
[00:59.00] A name that's peculiar, and more dignified
[01:02.61] Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular
[01:06.33] Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
[01:10.51] Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum
[01:14.41] Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo or Coricopat
[01:18.04] Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum
[01:22.02] Names that never belong to more than one cat
[01:25.70] But above and beyond there's still one name left over
[01:29.76] And that is the name that you never will guess
[01:33.32] The name that no human research can discover
[01:37.05] But the at himself knows, and will never confess
[01:41.12] When you notice a cat in profound meditation
[01:45.19] The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
[01:48.70] His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
[01:52.54] Of the thought
[01:54.14] Of the thought
[01:55.82] Of the thought
[01:57.54] Of his name
[01:59.33] His ineffable, effable, effanineffable
[02:07.29] Deep, and inscrutable, singular name
