　　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

　　Jellicle cats come out tonight

　　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

　　her name is Jennyanydots

　　Demeter&Jellylorum&Bombalurina: 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

　　(Gumbie)Jennyanydots: Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice

　　Trio: So when she has got them lined up on the matting She teaches them

　　Gumbie: 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 site 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

　　Trio: 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

　　Gumbie: Need employment

　　I' m always on the wrong side of every door

　　And as soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about

　　I like to lie in the bureau drawer

　　Tugger: And there isn't any use fou you to doubt it

　　第一是日常居家的名字

　　比如:彼得/奧古斯塔斯/阿隆佐/詹姆斯

　　比如:維克多/喬納坦/喬治l比爾·貝利

　　但都只是日常合理的名字

　　而我要告訴你貓還需要一個特別的名字

　　展開長長的胡須而且傲氣十足呢?

　　像這樣的名字我能給你一大串

　　像蒙克斯崔普奎佐或克里克帕特

　　還有邦巴露娜或是詹麗若姆

　　一個名字只對應一只貓

　　但除此之外還有一個名字

　　那是你永遠猜不到的名字

　　那是人類無法發現的名字

　　那是貓自己知道卻永不會說的名字

　　當你看到貓陷入沉思

　　我告訴你原因只有一個

　　他正投入地思索著、思索著、思索著他的名字

　　他那難以言說，有時說得出，有是又說不出的

　　高深莫測，非同一般的名字

　　名字、名字、名字、名……
