CATS - Grizabella, The Glamour Cat Lyrics
The evening takes a somber turn when the outcast figure"Grizabella, The Glamour Cat" appears. Although she is aJellicle Cat, the rest of the tribe shun her. She had leftthe tribe years ago to explore the outside world. The outsideworld has been hard on her, however, and she who was once abeautiful and glamorous feline is now tattered and torn.Although she wants to return, the other cats are cruel, clawingand hissing at her. But Grizabella is proud, and she vows to return.SOLO:Remark the cat who hesitates toward youIn the light of the door which opens on her like a grinYou see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sandAnd you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pinShe haunted many a low resortNear the grimy road of Tottenham CourtShe flitted about the No Man's LandFrom "The Rising Sun" to "The Friend at Hand"And the postman sighed as he scratched his head"You'd really had thought she ought to be dead"And who would ever suppose thatThat was Grizabella, the glamour catGrizabella, the glamour cat, Grizabella, the glamour catAnd who would ever suppose thatThat was Grizabella, the glamour cat
