The Ad-dressing Of Cats (From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats")

[00:00.00]Judi Dench - The Ad-dressing Of Cats (From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats")
[00:00.68]Written by:T.S. Eliot
[00:00.83]Composed by:Andrew Lloyd Webber
[00:04.46]You've heard of several kinds of cat
[00:08.84]And my opinion now is that
[00:12.99]You should need to interpreter to understand our character
[00:21.08]You've learned enough to take the view
[00:25.38]That cats are very much like you
[00:29.40]You've seen us both at work and games
[00:33.63]And learnt about our proper names
[00:37.36]Our habits and our habitat
[00:41.83]But how would you ad-dress a cat
[00:49.72]So first your memory I'll jog
[00:55.93]And say a cat is not a dog
[01:01.88]So first your memory I'll jog
[01:08.29]And say a cat is not a dog
[01:17.92]With cats some say one rule is true
[01:23.53]Don't speak 'til spoken to
[01:29.74]Myself I do not hold with that
[01:33.21]I say you should ad-dress a cat
[01:36.69]But always bear in mind that he resents familiarity
[01:47.24]You bow and taking off your hat ad-dress him in this form
[01:57.47]O Cat
[02:00.99]O Cat
[02:05.57]Before a cat will condescend
[02:09.42]To treat you as a trusted friend
[02:13.08]Some little token of esteem is needed like a dish of cream
[02:20.17]And you might now and then supply
[02:23.35]Some caviar or Strassburg pie
[02:27.00]Some potted grouse or salmon paste
[02:30.44]He's sure to have his personal taste
[02:34.62]And so in time you reach your aim
[02:38.45]And call him by his name
[02:46.82]A cat's entitled to expect
[02:51.96]These evidences of respect
[02:56.76]So this is this and that is that
[03:03.53]And there's how you ad-dress a cat

You've heard of several kinds of cat
And my opinion now is that
You should need to interpreter to understand our character
You've learned enough to take the view
That cats are very much like you

Our habits and our habitat
But how would you ad-dress a cat
So first your memory I'll jog
And say a cat is not a dog

And say a cat is not a dog
With cats some say one rule is true
Don't speak 'til spoken to
