All the Jellicles are running around, going nuts and the Junkyard is covered in steel bars and there are no longer any available…
Pouncival: I'm going to hurt some one!
Munkustrap: at least you don't have to wear little kid pajamas.
Pouncival: I have to wear a skirt!
Munku: oh yeah. Um... hee, I laugh at your misfortune.
The overture:
Anyway, before we get off way off course, let's get going.
(The rock music starts up and Munku is wearing a pair little kid pajamas, playing with some toy trains. And so it begins.)
Munkustrap:
This is control. This is control. Tonight is the most importanest nigh in the world ever! Put your paws together for the champion racers of the Junkyard. Trains to your places. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Trains gone! 4 trains going for the final places. Alonzo and Plato are the early leaders with Skimble pressing in a close third. And here's a big surprise; look at Tumblebrutus go!
Jenny: Put those trains away.
Munku: Oh mom- just 5 more minutes.
Jenny: No
Munku: 2 more minutes?
Jenny: no
Munku: 1 more minutes? But mom-
Jenny: no buts. Get into bed. Now. ^Shuts the door after tucking Munku in bed ^
Munku: ^singing ^
Starlight Express, Starlight Express
Are you real? Are you real?
Starlight Express, Starlight express
The introduction
Munku: ^whispering, slowly getting louder
This is control. Tonight is racing night. Let's here it for the champ engines of the Junkyard!
From France the black and white little cat- Mistoffelees
From Italy, the fast guy who loves Victoria- Plato
From Germany- on time again! - Asparagus
From mother Russia- our own bad guy ginger tabby- Macavity
The Japanese- the bullet and original train cat- Skimbleshanks
From our beloved London- the great Rumpus Cat
Er, the British Rail way announces that there's a delay because the Rumpus Cat lost his blanket.
And finally, from the America State of United! I mean the USA, the main champion: the greatest racer of all times- ALONZO!!!!!!
Fastest Toms
Alonzo appears wearing boxes and roller skates.
Alonzo and gang:
I'm just quickest thing you can ever see
That streak of fur you missed of me
Can't stop now- I'm running all day and night
Tough Toms! The fastest Toms!
You have to have wheels, to earn your meals
You have no lovers if you have no wheels
No way, you can go faster than I can!
This my tail view and that's you can see
Can't stop now- running all day and night!
So get your skates moving anyway how.
The racing's already won.
Because no way I can be out done.
Fastest Toms
Fastest Toms
Fastest Toms!
Meow for me!
^four cats appear as Alonzo goes offstage, the Carriages, including an agitated Pouncival who's wearing a skirt and skates and make-up ^
Jemima and other Carriages:
Whoo-whoo, Whoo-whoo, gotta go as a steam train
Whoo-whoo, Whoo-whoo, I'm waiting for the dream train.
Jemima:
I'll know him, if I see him
For long before I can see him
I'll hear that far off call
I'll hear that distant signal.
And then he'll meow for me.
He'll send that sound to woo me
He'll meow at me
I'm gonna hitch him to me
Some day, maybe today, he'll meow for me
That's how I can know him
And maybe I'll sing for him
That should surprise him
Don't give me deep humming
Horns, bells, or annoying drumming
I want a low purring
As it rises to high notes
Please meow for me
I'm in hyper-nation
I need him to meow for me
I'm waiting in the station
Come on, some one meow for me
I'm longing to be near him
I'll have him meow to me
I'll know him if I hear him
He'll meow for me
Freight Toms (and Queens):
Cassandra: Oh no! oh shucks!
Victoria: It's the freight Toms. The dumb Poms
Pouncival: 40 tons of empty chrome. the lights are on-
Cassandra; but no one is home.
Jemima: let's have some fun. Let's play a joke
Victoria: I'd rather just have a smoke
Pouncival; here they come to fill this station with witty-
Cassandra:intelligent conversations!
Freight Toms:
Freight is great (Brilliant!)
Freight is great
We carry weight 'cuz we're freight
And Freight is great (I didn't catch that!)
Freight is great.
We can't sulk, we take the bulk
'Cuz we're freight (Oh wow.. I'm impressed)
And freight is great!
Carriages:
Listen to what we say.
Never stand litter and sand
In your head, no one's aboard.
I can't stand to be a freight,
I got to be a living breathing social Queen.
Freight Toms:
Freight is great.
And we are freight.
'cuz freight is great
Toms/Carriages:
Freight/Never can stand litter and sand
Is great/ in you're head no one's aboard
We carry Freight/ I can't stand to be a fright
Because we're Freight/ I have to be a living breathing social Queen.
It's craters and mouser/ Mommies and poppas
Quarters and dimes/ People always on time.
Freight!/ Folks/Lairs!/ Fares!
Kittens, fems, and male/
Litter, meat, and tails/
Are great, are great, are great, are great!!!
Munku:

Admetus:
I'm Admetus, my pals are vague like me.
Quaxo:
I'm invisible guy too
Bill Bailey:

The 3 invisables:
We only can ever get sick
Is when some one calls us a-
Jellyorum: Stop the music! No way, you guys can put that here! There's little kids reading this.
Quaxo: Sorry ma'am. We didn't write it. That'd be the Author's fault.
Author:
Ok sorry! But I don't any words that rhyme with sick except-
Jellyorum:
Just skip to the next verse please! ^music starts back up again ^
Munku:
Call out, brick truck!
Mungojerrie:

Munku: Big girl hopper!
Mungo: yeah' 'at's you Teaz'
Munku: Big girl? Just say 'present'.
Rumpleteazer:

The invisables: yeah your head's full o' rocks!
Teaser:
Not rocks! Just for this play, bits of gravel
'ow else can gravel travel?
Teaser and Mungo: both start laugh and giggle
Playin' in and travlin' wit gravel an'
Hoping we 'on't get wet
Wotar and mortar do stuff
they ain't to oughta
Empty us before we steal it!
Pouncival: how come she got to be a freight and she's a girl!
Author: I liked her accent. Besides, you look nice in that outfit.
Pouncival oh really? I think silver doesn't go with my fur exactly but the white compliments it...
Author: That'll keep him busy.
Everything resumes before Pouncival's intruptance.
Freight Toms:
Down we make a rack
School we had A's and B's and back
Our intelligence we lack
But we know one things and that one thing is
Freight is great!
Freight is great!
Carriages/ Freight Toms:

Intermission
Pouncival: you guys, do I have do this?
Macvity: I'll pay you 2 catnip mice if you do it.
Pouncival: All right!
Bombalurina: this outta be good
Pouncival:
Pouncival at your service Ever open wide
My microwave is cooking to warm you from inside
A whole lotta locomotion will do the trick
Come and bite the burgers
I'm hot and cheap and quick!
Everyone I the junkyard is rolling around laughing, including the orchestra.
Pouncival: that was humiliating. Now let's get on with the show
The music starts up shakily and the next song begins.
AC/DC
Control: hey look! A late entry. A new super star!
Jemima: He's got a gun! I'm against violence
Gus: Hi! My name's Gus. I'm playing Tugger's armament truck.
Everyone: Isn't it Electra?
Gus: Well in the other musical, Electra is a GUY electric train and-
Exotica: Spare us Gus! I'm Exotica. Tugger's repair truck.
Mungojerrie: Tugger's got ' be rich to 'ave a repair truck.
Rumple: Or very not reliable!
Etcetra: I'm Etcetra, Tugger's dynamite truck!
Electra: I'm Electra, Tugger' s freezer truck. I wanted to play his part but no-
Etcetra: Tugger is hot!
Electra: cool!
Etcetra: Tugger is hot!
Electra: cool!
Etcetra, Electra, Gus, and Exotica:
A mega-star- a mega furball
Rich, furry, annoying. Hot cool, powerful.
Rich, furry, annoying. Hot cool, powerful.
Tugger…. Tugger… Tugger.. Tugger…
Tugger:
I can be electric
I have great magnetism, I do agree.
All electric, all anticipation
Contact at the station
AC/Dc, no difference to me!
I'm electric- mind how you touch me
You might ruff my fur the wrong way
I'll set you on fire
Pull up and reach the lightning
Watch Misto have jealously!
Misto: I'm the one supplying the special effects including your bolts Tugger!
Author: Calm down. I was going to have to play this but you are so much cuter as a French train.
Misto: Really? I always like pasta!
Munku: Isn't that Italy?
Misto: oh well. I like French fries.
Author: two in a row!
Tugger: Is the song over? I don't like this part.
Author: yeah it's ok, Tugger. Well go to the next one. ALONZO! Your turn.
Alonzo: yahoo! I get to sing another song!
Tugger: Shut up and do it then.
Shedding fur
Munku: Uh-oh.. look who's come to steal all our queens..
Pouncival, Cassandra, Jemima, and Victoria:
It's Alonzo! Alonzo! Alonzo the big guy diesel. Hey big boy, please race with me!
Cassandra: Back off Barbie's! His miiiiiiiiiiiiine.
Alonzo: Here comes a man with a steel reframe. I'm a knocking'
The diesel on its way, I'll win this race.
Throw the rest on their face.
Hear me a knock!
(gives Pouncival a kiss)
Listen to the clatter of the kittens' teeth
And this sword is too much for any sheath.
I'm just too much even for Tugger's rock
See me hustle
The heat makes you lose your hair
You're shedding fur!
Trying get the girls
And trying to annoy the guys
(drop kicks Misto)
Misto: You'll pay you little-
Jellyorum: I said no swearing!
Cassandra and other carriages:
You know he's too much for the steam
He's a one-man team
And the big leader of the fighting squad
And we can't think of anymore rhymes.
So, we'll end our verse, now!
Alonzo: Se me rock!
See my hustle,
And the mice bustle
Then the Gumbie Cat's day has hardly begun-
Rumplteaser: Wrong verse, dumb nut!
Alonzo: Sorry!
Heading for the Junkyard
Gonna win all the races
I'm the Jelliclest
and the fastest and the strongest
When I'm a shedding, you see fur everywhere.
The heat is rising and I say this much,
I'm the best of the bunch.
I'm making you shed!
The male Ego
Alonzo: You, your talkin' bull.
Tugger: My charms are taking over.
Alonzo: You'll have to beat classic Jellicle looks!
The Invisables: We don't believe either of you.
You don't have a chance.
'Cuz you all got you're minds of Jem.
Tugger: I'll still whoop them!
Alonzo: No you won't. I'm the biggest and the bestest and don't you forget!
Tugger: I'll win!
Tumblebrutus: No, I will!
Misto: Can it be? Really?!? Oh hi oh my eye! my mind may be wondering but I must confess I believe it is Old-
Exotica: CAN ANYONE GET THE VERSES RIGHT?
Misto: Sheesh! I wish you'd go back to fading in the background.
Tumble: Please listen. I do have a chance.
Alonzo and Tugger: Yeah right! I'm the bestest and don't you forget!
Skimble: I'm the original railway cat, and I'm going to win!!!!!!
Rumpus Cat: Will not. I'm the biggest and I'll run past all o' you.
Misto: Not if I take your blanket away!
Rumpus: no! Not my blankie!
Munkustrap: G'yah! Shut up!!! All of you just shut up! The author will here!
Author: Some said my naaaaaaame. I'm heeeeeeeeeeere!
Munkustrap: Everyone, hurry and get the song over with. She likes the next sane.
Tumble: Listen to me. I can see it now.
Others: No way, Tumble!
You're old and you're rusty, dusty and you smell musty.
Go back to the junkyard where you belong.
While try and finish up this song.
Tumble: You guys, I'm not kidding. I think I could beat you in a real race.
Alonzo: We said go back to the trashcan, kid.
Tugger: You haven't a chance, I'm gonna beat you.
Haven't a chance I'm gonna win.
(The other engines chant the same line over and over again as Tumble sings)
Tumble: Earth, water, fire, wind,
Water, air ,fire, water, wind fire,
Steam will rise higher!
Rise higher!
Carriages/ Freight Toms:
It's craters and mousers/ Mommies and poppas
Quarters and dimes/ People always on time.
Freight!/ Folks/Lairs!/ Fares!
Kittens, fems, and male/
Litter, meat, and tails/
On the rails, through the trails, sharpen your nails, and to the rails,
Beware of the kittens' intent to avenge,
The wagons that think their dragons,
And the litter box is empty,
and the fact Humans are in bed,
Are great, are great, are great, are great!!!
Insane
Author: I love this song! It's my favorite!
Munkustrap: Here author, author, author., Here's a nice straight jacket for you…
Author: No, stupid, stupid, stupid. I ain't falling for that old trick.
Tumble: Where I go the carriages gotta follow.
BEEP you pOllicles, Road hogs!
I ride along now and forever.
Hold on, this is gonna be one wild ride!
Pounce, Jemima, Victoria, and Cassandra:
Insane. You have to see he's really insane.
Love him if you can.
but he's crazy, gone insane, insane I tell you!
Tumble: Watch me, see me hit the horizon
Jemima: Boy you're fast! Can I race with you?
Tumble: Ride with me, and you know I'm the best.
No one is as smooth as I can move.
Pounce, Jemima, Victoria, and Cassandra:
Insane. You have to see he's really insane.
Love him if you can.
but he's crazy, gone insane, insane I tell you!
(They ride around in little circles, humming and bopping along.)
Tumble: Hold on tight.
I can go ever faster!
Watch where you put your hands, Jemima!
Off into the sunset we'll all ride.
Jemima: Till I meet some one better.
Pounce, Jemima, Victoria, and Cassandra:
Insane. You have to see he's really insane.
Love him if you can.
But he's crazy, gone insane, insane I tell you!
Tumble: You know I'm crazy!
I'm off the walls and insane!
I'm really insane! Crazy! Crazy!
Everyone: We're all CRAZY!
I'm torn apart
(Everyone skates offstage while Jemima remains.)
Jemima: I don't know what to do.
Tumble is great and he's nice and I'm attracted to him.
But he's not as great and fast as Alonzo or Tugger.
And I think that my guy should win.
What am I going to do?
Etcetra: Jemima! Guess what?
Tugger wants you to race with him!
Better hold on tight so not to lose a limb!
(Skates off)
Tumble: Jemima! You're racing with Tugger?
Tell me I heard wrong!
I thought you liked me all along.
I know now who's racing with me.
No one! Not even the Invisibles, 1, 2, or 3!
(Runs backstage, leaving Jemima all alone.)
Jemima: I'm ver confused now.
It's time to chose between the two of them.
I can't seem to start.
It's tearing me apart.
Really, I feel torn apart.
Bomb thinks that two lovers is more the better.
I don't follow but the guys let her.
One of them is good and makes me smile.
The other is fast at 10 minutes a mile.
My heart is torn apart.
My soul is torn apart.
Tumble makes my heart skip
But Tugger makes me sweat.
I'm not sure which is better.
You'd think the more the more fun.
I can't chose what's to be done.
I need help for I love one but love the other.
My heart is torn apart.
Oh my soul is torn apart.
I guess I'll ride with Tugger just to see what happens.
Race One
Munku: This is control. Now half of you engines report to your tracks! Race one is starting. Every engine must have one carriage or truck. We have to make this as fair as possible.
Ok, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Trains gone! Tugger quickly takes the lead! Wow and Alonzo is neck and neck with him as well. (Screeching of roller skates is heard) Misto is coming quickly behind him. He's coming, coming, coming and he's past the leaders. Misto must win! Hmm… What time is it?
(As Munkustrap looks away, Alonzo drop kicks Misto, sending him and Victoria crashing.)
Victoria: You idiot! We lost!
Misto: We would have won too! Not like you were any help, Vic.
Munku: (looks up from his watch) Uh-oh. Misto crashed. And Tugger and Alonzo cross the finish line. These two will compete for the champion ship.
(A few minutes later)
Cassandra: Alonzo that wasn't nice! Good plan but I would look better if we won fairly.
Alonzo: Who needs you!? All you care about is your looks. (Unhooks Cassandra and leaves her all alone as he runs off to find Jemima to race with him.)
Cassandra: Honey? Alonzo? Where are you? Oh dear. (cries) I'm all alone!
Bombalurina: No you're not. I'm Bombalurina, the little red caboose.
Cassandra: EPPP! You are the nasty red caboose! Help!
Bombalurina: Cool it sister. Just because I'm sly and sleek
Crime isn't exactly my high peek.
I'm at the back of the train, all alone.
Just like you, sister, all alone.
(The other carriages and engines come over)
Carriages and Engines: Cassandra, what's wrong?
Cassandra: Alonzo has left me. I'm just.. (sniffles) I can't say it.
I've been U. N. T. O. M. E. D.
I can't seem to say, yes sirie.
I'm a carriage with no marriage.
I'm a queen with no men to lean.
I've been U. N. T. O. M. E. D.
Yes, I'm just U. N. T. O. M. E. D.
I can't seem to stop C. R. Y. I. N. G.
Other engines will look and think.
That I am a missing link.
Because I've been U. N. T. O. M. E. D.
Was I really rude?
Or my manners crude?
I have been shamed.
Why must I been blamed?
I'm hardly first class.
not even chrome or glass.
But I'm still U. N. T. O. M. E. D.
Yes, I've been U. N. T. O. M. E. D.
But! I'll get A. V. E. N. G. E. D.
He love me again,
By the time I count to ten.
And I'll turn and say,
'Go away you S. O. N. O. F. A. B. I. T. C. H.'
Pouncival: Oh good idea Cassandra! If he dumped some one like you, it's his guilt.
You are a sword, not a hilt.
Be your own Starlight Express.
But when asked for forgiveness, answer yes.
Cassandra: Only he had the power to move me...
Victoria: No, he doesn't. Only you do.
Pouncival: Only you have the power to see it.
The power in the sky.
For you can reach up high.
Only you have the love for yourself.
Only you have the will to trust.
At Alonzo's speed,
How long could he last?
He's power's spending out all in a blast.
Endurance, wear and tear you can stand.
You are the best dinner car in the land.
Cassandra: really? I am the leader of the Rolling Toms?
Victoria: Yes! Only you can help lead them!
Cassandra: Hear me knocking.
I'm the dinner car.
For wear and tear.
I'm a knocking.
Rolling Stock!
I'm rolling Stock!
Wheels are good and engines are great.
But carriages can never be too late.
Hear me knocking. I'm a knocking!
Oh, oh I'm a Rolling Queen!
Munku: Ok break it up, break it up! Get ready for the race soon.
Starlight Meows
Tumble: Hi Old D.
I feel like something's eating me.
Jemima's left me, I can't win.
I love and her and now my head's in a spin.
Old Deuteronomy: Take this alarm clock and wind it up.
Let it go and watch what happens.
(Tumble winds the alarm clock up and it goes off)
That's my good friend. Grizabella- the sleeping truck.
Grizabella: (yawns) Wow. What nap.
Tumble: Who are you? What are you?
Grizabella: I'm Grizabella. I used to be glamorous.
My passengers would stay in their cabins and snuggle in my blankets.
They had Golden laturns that set off my sequin dress.
Everything they had was quality of the best.
Irish liquor and soft beds.
My passengers would listen to me singing softly to them.
I made them comfortable inside my rooms.
But those are long days past.
The passengers come into their rooms, and undress for their sleep.
They don't even say good night anymore.
For my looks make it seem I'm slow and very poor.
I miss my days of the old and beautiful.
Memory, all alone in the moonlight,
I can smile at the old days.
I was beautiful then.
I remember a time I knew what happiness was,
Let the memory live again.
I shouldn't have stayed out all night.
I should have taken it slower.
But it's too late now.
Tumble, take my advice, and be happy with what you are.
The Starlight Express may meow for you.
Then it means that your heart is pure and true.
For it is only made of love.
The Starlight Express will help you, yes.
Just believe in it and it will help.
(Yawns and goes back to sleep)
Old D: See Tumble? Advice form experience.
See what she means?
The Starlight Express will only help if you really need it.
Just believe in it yourself.
(Skates offstage to drink milk)
Tumble: The Starlight Express?
I don't know… maybe it will help.
I have to signal it in a great way.
I know! I'll sing a meow for it.
Starlight Meows,
Starlight Express,
Answer, yes?
I have no where to turn to.
My love, true love has left.
I have no one else left.
Please tell me where to go.
I have been in bed,
With the covers pulled up tight.
I hear a distant whistle and humming,
Is that you?
Starlight Meows, Starlight Express,
Are you real? I know you are!
Starlight Meows, Moonlight meows.
I know you can hear me
Help me please.
Race Two
Munkustrap: Ok trains, carriages, queens, toms, whatever the hell you are. It is time for the race to determine who is going to compete for the final race. Wait! It seems that Old Poppa D. is going to stand in for Tumble. Well, if that's the way the steamers feel…
Ok five, four, three, two, and one! Trains gone! And it's Skimble and Plato in the lead! Macavity's closing in with Deuteronomy hindering behind. Looks like Jerrie isn't light enough for him to get going.
Up the first ramp. Oh no! Looks like Quaxo is losing his grip on Macavity! (Crashing is heard) Well, they're out of the race now.
Ok, everyone's going down the ramp now. And wow! Look at that steamer go! He' passes everyone. And across the finish line! Old D and Skimble will go for the finals.
Quaxo: I can't believe it! It's not fair.
My paws were sweaty.
I had the breaks.
I had the breaks and I lost.
I had the speed and I lost still.
I could have been a star with the main engine and what happens?
I lost because of sweaty paws!
Macavity: Quit whining. Now we don't have to do anything else for the show.
Quaxo: I don't agree. The way the author handles things.
Queens' and Toms' Ego
Bill Bailey: Cool it, Quaxo. We can still compete. We just have to get the girls out of the way.
But with Tumble, that's no prob.
No girl will race with him.
Quaxo: Why would I want to race with him!
Oh well. Good thing Old D. raced for him.
He couldn't make it this far.
I'll be in the final race.
I'll ask later.
Admeatus: Hey everyone!
Are you ready for the big race?
It's starting soon.
The winner will be decided soon.
But who's gonna win?
You gotta be in it to win it!
And unless your name is means power,
It's suicide off a tall tower.
Boys ready for the girls?
Girls ready to race with the guys?
We'll take you all on to win!
Old D: no! Tumble will win!
Everyone: Tumble! No way.
No chance against the betters.
Cassandra: Betcha my guy will win though!
Everyone: Who's racing with the new leader of the Rolling Stock?
Cassandra: I'm the new leader,
'Lonzo ain't that great.
Ain't gonna last that long.
He can't keep rolling every night.
I'm fast, easy, and light.
The man I race with will fly on air.
We'll be the best pair.
I'm a riding with Tumble tonight in the final race.
I believe in him.
He's going to win.
Everyone: He's not ready!
He couldn't' win the first race.
He's not going to win this one.
Bill Bailey: Are you ready for the big one?
It's starting really soon!
Who's gonna win all the gals this year?
But who'll last this wear and tear?
That's the big question.
But who's gonna last and who's gonna win?
Tumble: I'll win.
Everyone: No way!
Even Misto could beat you on any day.
Misto: Thanks for the compliment!
Everyone: Misto, shut it!
Misto: Well sorry!
Everyone: Misto, shut it! We said shut up!
Tumble: I will enter. I can win.
I will have the Starlight Express on my side.
It is a wonder. it'll be my guide.
Munkustrap: Break up the party!
Time for the actual race and we can get this rap song over with!
Cassandra: Wowie!
Tugger offered to ride with me!
Sorry, Tumble, but when a better offer comes along,
You have to take it.
Tumble: Now who'll I race with?
Bombalurina: You can race me.
I'm fast and light.
I'm not much work to haul.
And I can stand up by the winner, proud and tall.
Race Three
Munkustrap: Ok, time for the finale! Everyone, ready. Get set, go! The guys are off!
Alonzo with Jemima and Tugger with Cassandra pull into the lead. But look at this! Tumble is coming up fast. boy, Bombalurina really needs that good grip. Poor Skimble! Teaser's wheels need to be oiled.
But there up front, little Tumble is mad and he's going full steam ahead alright. he passes Tugger, he passes Alonzo! What's the champ going to do about that.
(All of a sudden, Bombalurina puts on her breaks, sending Tumble to a stop, while Alonzo and Tugger plow into them.)
Oh goddess... You klutz! Race cancelled. Re-match in 15 minutes.
The Plea of Tumble
Tumble: Bombalurina! No fair! you robbed me of my chance!
No fair! No fair!
Bombalurina: Who me?
You got the wrong guy.
NOT!
I'm the nasty red caboose at the end of the line.
The police suspect Coach Number 39.
I'm all lone and unsuspecting.
No one will believe so stop whining!
(skates off and away laughing)
Tumble: Now what?
I'm all alone
What am I to do?
What did I do?
I miss Jemima. I loved her too.
What am I going to do?
Starlight meows…
Help me please.
The Everlasting Cat:
(a flash of lightning and a down a floating tire from the heavens comes a huge and beautiful golden cat)
Only you, have the power to move you.
Just believe in yourself and the world will bow before you.
Stop the winds, and turn the tides.
Only you have the powers of knowledge, love, and will.
For the memories of your Grizabella are right.
Tumble: Starlight Meows, Starlight Express.
Can you help me? please, yes?
Starlight Meows, Moonlight memories…
Everlasting Cat:
My child, you're blind.
It's there in your mind.
And your heart.
The Starlight Express,
And Moonlight memories, yes,
they are made of you.
yes tumble.
You, my little Starlight Express…
Tumble: I am the Starlight?
I can achieve… anything?
I guess it's true.
I will enter, I will win.
I will win Jemima back.
Everlasting Cat: Don't let me down….
(fades away into the starry background and the Jellicle Moon)
Carbucketty: (skips in, with out a costume)
I'm late sorry. I just got back form my vacation.
Tumble, why you staring like that.
Tumble: I thought you played the Starlight Express.
Car: I do. But I was late…
Rumple: I saw the Starlight express, too!
Wait, car, if that wasn't you.
Then who…. was it?
(Everyone looks to the moon in awe.)
Tumble: Getting back to the storyline.
I still don't have anyone to race with.
Rumple: I will!
I'm not the fastest, nor the lightest.
But my vision puts those facts to the test.
The Starlight.. the Moonlight..
I understand it all now tumble.
Please, race with me.
Tumble: ok. Let's go kick some train butt!
Jellyorum: That was quite inappropriate!
Tumble: sorry, mum.
The Big Race Finale
Munku: Ok. this is the re-match for the finale. There's Skimble with Quaxo, Tugger with Cassandra, Alonzo with the wonderful Jemima and good ol' Tumblebrutus with Rumplteazer. And they lien up and countdown... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... go!
Alonzo doesn't get a good start. Jemima can't get her breaks unstuck. Or she doesn't want too. Everyone is passing him. He looks really mad now. On no! He let go of Jemima. She's heading for the edge of the bottomless pit! (?) And look at Tumble go and get her! Whew that was close. But poor Tumble is slowed down with two coaches. Alonzo is back in the lead, though he's going to be in trouble for riding solo.
Rum Tum Tugger scratches and hisses. Alonzo and him are getting into a fight on wheels. And they are going the wrong way, auguring now. Opps! The crash right into that big brick wall that appeared form nowhere. And Skimble trips over a flying riding helmet. Tumble crosses at the last second and wins! The Starlight ahs blessed him! He wins! He wins! He wins!
(The entire group of Jellicles have a big dancing party and stay up all night until dawn when everyone but Tumble and Jemima who begin singing to each other.)
I really need to be loved by you
Jemima:
I really don't know how to keep alive for long.
Help me Heavyside Layer for that.
Love is more of a question than a fact.
I need to be loved again.
Tugger and Alonzo are cruel and selfish.
But Tumble, you made me smile.
Yes, a smile is priceless.
Worth more than any winnings.
Next time I fall in love,
Time will be frozen
With happiness.
The new day will be dawning.
Please take back my heart.
I really need to be loved.
I really need to be loved.
Tumble: I live every moment just for you.
What fools we were to trash our dreams that were to come true.
Next time I fall in love,
It'll be with you.
Yes, it's true
Because back then was when,
We tasted Moonlight,
Touched the Starlight
And felt the Starlight Express.
Tumble and Jemima:
Next time I fall in love,
Time will be frozen
With happiness.
The new day will be dawning.
Please take back my heart.
I really need to be loved.
Next time I fall in love,
It'll be with you.
Yes, it's true
Because back then was when,
We tasted Moonlight,
Touched the Starlight
And felt the Starlight Express.
Tumble: But Teaser was always true to me.
Jemima: Maybe this story will end up like Phantom of the Opera?
Author: No! That's my next cross over!
Misto: (Wakes up) I heard that.
No! I refuse to be a horrible disfigured guy who lives in walls!
(Trys to get up and run away but the Author grabs him by his collar, drags him off)
Author: I can see it now! Misto, you have the tux now let's go…
(Walks off while Misto holds up a sign that says, "Help me God!" until she jumps through her magic mirror and travels to the Paris Opera House.)
Tumble: Well, we can't end it that way.
And the author isn't here anymore.
So, let's go with I'm on love with you.
You with me. And we end it.
Everyone: Sounds good to me!
Author: (sticks head back through Mirror and the sound of Misto's cries ring out)
That's what is suppose to happen.
But there's one last song and then the end.
Alonzo, Tugger, and Bombalurina, take it away!
(Disappears through Mirror again)
One Night out too many
Bombalurina: One night out too many,
Tugger: One night's parties far to many.
Alonzo: Too many nights sleepless.
All Three: We stayed up too late.
We need our rest but we didn't get it.
The lights are too bright,
Our heads are throbbing
And our skins seem too tight.
Kids don't let this happen to you at home.
(All three fall on the ground, limbs sprawled out as they snore, and spark fly from their costumes.)
One week later in Paris France,
A young cat girl that goes by the name of Ruby fire was chased down the streets of Paris, while other cat women tried to beat her head in with sticks.
An investigation of her home, the Opera House, we found that she had tied up a tuxedo male cat half dressed in a metal suit from Starlight express and wearing the mask from Phantom of the Opera. He was humming Crazy and singing the words to the Music of the Night Theme.
He had gone Crazy
End of Insanity. You can go back to your better lives knowing that you won't end up like Mistoffelees.
