The Naming Of Cats - Original Cast[00:00:00]

The naming of cats is a difficult matter[00:00:08]

It isn't just one of your holiday games[00:00:12]

You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter[00:00:16]

When I tell you a cat must have three different names[00:00:20]

First of all there's the name that the family use daily[00:00:23]

Such as Peter Augustus Alonzo or James[00:00:27]

Such as Victor or Jonathan George or Bill Bailey[00:00:31]

All of them sensible everyday names[00:00:36]

There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter[00:00:39]

Some for the gentlemen some for the dames[00:00:44]

Such as Plato Admetus Electra Demeter[00:00:47]

But all of them sensible everyday names[00:00:51]

But I tell you a cat needs a name that's particular[00:00:55]

A name that's peculiar and more dignified[00:00:59]

Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular[00:01:02]

Or spread out his whiskers or cherish his pride[00:01:06]

Of names of this kind I can give you a quorum[00:01:10]

Such as Munkustrap Quaxo or Coricopat[00:01:14]

Such as Bombalurina or else Jellylorum[00:01:18]

Names that never belong to more than one cat[00:01:22]

But above and beyond there's still one name left over[00:01:25]

And that is the name that you never will guess[00:01:29]

The name that no human research can discover[00:01:33]

But the cat himself knows and will never confess[00:01:36]

When you notice a cat in profound meditation[00:01:41]

The reason I tell you is always the same[00:01:45]

His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation[00:01:48]

Of the thought of the thought of the thought of his name[00:01:52]

His ineffable effable effanineffable[00:01:59]

Deep and inscrutable singular name[00:02:07]

Name name name name name name[00:02:15]
