        Em                              F              F
Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?
        D                         Em               Em
Can you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?
        Cmaj7                      F7
Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark?
        Bb7         B7               E
Are you cock of the walk when you're walking alone?


        E                   A       B
Because Jellicles are and Jellicles do
     E                         A  
Jellicles do and Jellicles would
   B                  E
Jellicles would and Jellicles can
     A        B               E
Jellicles can and Jellicles do
                  A           B  
Jellicles can and Jellicles do


         Em                        F                F
When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet?
        D                              Em              Em
Are you tense when you sense there's a storm in the air?
        Cmaj7                           F7
Can you find your way blind when you're lost in the street?
       Bb7         B7        E
Do you know how to go to the Heaviside Layer?


        E                   A       B  
Because Jellicles can and Jellicles do
     E                        A  
Jellicles do and Jellicles can
   B                E
Jellicles can and Jellicles do
     A       B                E
Jellicles do and Jellicles can
                  A           B  
Jellicles can and Jellicles do


        Em                      F
Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?
  D                        Em
Familiar with candle, with book and with bell?
         Cmaj7                          F7
Were you Whittington's friend? The Pied Piper's assistant?
         Bb7      B7        E             C7  
Have you been an alumnus of heaven or hell?
