[00:00.27]Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Naming of Cats
[00:08.90]The naming of cats is a difficult matter
[00:12.39]It isn't just one of your holiday games
[00:16.56]You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
[00:20.13]When I tell you a cat must have three different names
[00:23.94]First of all there's the name that the family use daily
[00:27.75]Such as Peter Augustus Alonzo or James
[00:31.74]Such as Victor or Jonathan George or Bill Baily -
[00:36.23]All of them sensible everyday names
[00:39.79]There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter
[00:43.84]Some for the gentlemen some for the dames
[00:47.48]Such as Plato Admetus Electra Demeter -
[00:51.65]But all of them sensible everyday names
[00:55.28]But I tell you a cat needs a name that's particular
[00:59.09]A name that's peculiar and more dignified
[01:02.63]Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular
[01:06.53]Or spread out his whiskers or cherish his pride
[01:10.46]Of names of this kind I can give you a quorum
[01:14.57]Such as Munkustrap Quaxo or Coricopat
[01:17.52]Such as Bombalurina or else Jellylorum -
[01:22.01]Names that never belong to more than one cat
[01:26.37]But above and beyond there's still one name left over
[01:29.93]And that is the name that you never will guess;
[01:33.43]The name that no human research can discover
[01:37.22]But the cat himself knows and will never confess
[01:41.35]When you notice a cat in profound meditation
[01:45.40]The reason I tell you is always the same
[01:48.90]His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
[01:52.65]Of the thought of the thought of the thought of his name
[01:59.00]His ineffable effable effanineffable
[02:07.62]Deep and inscrutable singular name
[02:15.17]Name name name name name name
