        E5                              F5              F5
Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?
        D5                         E5               E5
Can you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?
        C5                      F5
Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark?
        Bb5         B5               E5
Are you cock of the walk when you're walking alone?


        E5                   A5       B5
Because Jellicles are and Jellicles do
     E5                         A5  
Jellicles do and Jellicles would
   B5                  E5
Jellicles would and Jellicles can
     A5        B5               E5
Jellicles can and Jellicles do
                  A5           B5  
Jellicles can and Jellicles do


         E5                        F5                F5
When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet?
        D5                              E5              E5
Are you tense when you sense there's a storm in the air?
        C5                           F5
Can you find your way blind when you're lost in the street?
       Bb5         B5        E5
Do you know how to go to the Heaviside Layer?


        E5                   A5       B5  
Because Jellicles can and Jellicles do
     E5                        A5  
Jellicles do and Jellicles can
   B5                E5
Jellicles can and Jellicles do
     A5       B5                E5
Jellicles do and Jellicles can
                  A5           B5  
Jellicles can and Jellicles do


        E5                      F5
Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?
  D5                        E5
Familiar with candle, with book and with bell?
         C5                          F5
Were you Whittington's friend? The Pied Piper's assistant?
         Bb5      B5        E5             C5  
Have you been an alumnus of heaven or hell?

There's a man over there with a look of surprise,

As much as to say, "Well now how about that!"
