Hi there,
I'm watching the <CATS> recently, I think there're some american humors in the text, can you help me do find them out?
For ex.sb's bark is worse than their bite, I'm not sure if here's a trick to make it funnier...
Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?
Dare 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 “coke” of the wall when you're walking alone?
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?
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 and hell?
Are you mean like a minx? Are you lean like a lynx?
Are you keen to be seen when you're smelling a rat?
Were you there when the pharaohs commissioned the Sphinx?
If you were, and you are, you're a Jellicle cat
We can dive through the air like a flying trapeze
We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire
We can run up the wall, we can swing through the trees
We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire
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
Life to the everlasting cat!
Feline, fearless, faithful and true
To others who do-what
Thank you in advance.
Gioia
