Old Deuteronomy - From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats"

Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time
She's a cat who has lived many lives in succession
She was famous in Proverb and famous in rhyme
A long while before Queen Victoria's accession

Old Deuteronomy's lived many lives
No, I am tempted to say ninety-nine
And her numerous progeny prospers and thrives
And the village is proud of her in her decline

At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy
When she sits in the sun on the vicarage wall
Oldest inhabitant croaks
Well, of all things, can it be really?
Yes, no, oh, hi, oh my eye
My mind may be wandering, but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Well, of all things, can it be really?
Yes, no, oh, hi, oh my eye
My mind may be wandering, but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Well, of all things, can it be really?
Yes, no, oh, hi, oh my eye
My mind may be wandering, but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Well, of all things, can it be really?
Yes, no, oh, hi, oh my eye

My legs may be tottery, I must go slow
And be careful of Old Deuteronomy
