Old Deuteronomy Lyrics

The Twins:       I BELIEVE IT IS OLD DEUTERONOMY
All Jellicles:   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 TIME BEFORE QUEEN VICTORIA'S ACCESSION
Rum Tum Tugger:  OLD DEUTERONOMY'S BURIED NINE WIVES
                 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
Both:            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 Jellicles:   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
