How Lucky You Are (Third Reprise)
[HORTON THE ELEPHANT] (singing)
WHEN YOU'RE JOUNCING ALONG
ON A ROAD FULL OF RUTS
GETTING JEERED BY A THRONG
AND PERFORMING FOR NUTS,
TELL YOURSELF HOW LUCKY YOU ARE!
THERE'S A CRICK IN YOUR TAIL
AND A CRAMP IN YOUR TOES
YOU'RE ON WHO KNOWS WHAT TRAIL
AND WHERE WHO IS, WHO KNOWS!
TELL YOURSELF HOW LUCKY YOU ARE!
I'M WORRIED FOR JOJO
AND ALL OF THE REST.
THEY'RE LOST IN THE CLOVER.
I'M STUCK ON A NEST.
I'LL SIT ON THIS EGG
'CAUSE WHAT ELSE CAN I DO!
OH, MAYZIE, PLEASE FIND ME!
VACATION IS THROUGH
OH, MAYZIE, PLEASE FIND ME
I'VE GOT TO SAVE WHO!
[ALL] (spoken)
Palm Beach!
(HORTON and the CIRCUS exits. Segue to Palm Beach, where MAYZIE lies lazily under a palm tree, attended by the CAT IN THE HAT who now plays a suave LATIN POOLBOY named JOSÉ.)
