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 GAMES
                 AND LEARNED ABOUT OUR PROPER NAMES
                 OUR HABITS AND OUR HABITAT
                 BUT HOW DO YOU ADDRESS A CAT?
                 SO FIRST YOUR MEMORY I'LL JOG
                 AND SAY A CAT IS NOT A DOG
All Jellicles:   SO FIRST YOUR MEMORY I'LL JOG
                 AND SAY A CAT IS NOT A DOG
Old Deuteronomy: WITH CATS, SOME SAY ONE RULE IS TRUE
                 DON'T SPEAK TILL YOU ARE SPOKEN TO
                 MYSELF, I DO NOT HOLD WITH THAT
                 I SAY YOU SHOULD ADDRESS A CAT
                 BUT ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT HE
                 RESENTS FAMILIARITY
                 YOU BOW, AND TAKING OFF YOUR HAT
                 ADDRESS 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 STRAUSSBURG 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 Jellicles:   A CAT'S ENTITLED TO EXPECT
                 THESE EVIDENCES OF RESPECT
                 SO THIS IS THIS AND THAT IS THAT
                 AND THERE'S HOW YOU ADDRESS 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 ADDRESS A CAT
