Old Deuteronomy (1982 Original Broadway Cast) Original Broadway Cast of Cats (Ft. Harry Groener, Ken Page & Terrence Mann)
[FEMALE CAT]
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
[COMPANY]
Well, of all things, can it be really?
No, yes, ho, hi, oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
[MUNKUSTRAP]
Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time
He's a Cat who has lived many lives in succession
He was famous in Proverb and famous in rhyme
A long while before Queen Victoria's accession
[RUM TUM TUGGER]
Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives
And more -- I am tempted to say ninety-nine
And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives
And the village is proud of him in his decline
[MUNKUSTRAP]
At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy
When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall
The oldest inhabitant croaks:
