David shiner - How lucky you are - original broadway cast recording lyrics

CAT When the news is all bad When you're sour and blue When you start to get mad You should do what I do- (The CAT mischievously lets the WHOS fall a few more feet) WHOS Aaah! CAT IN THE HAT Tell yourself How lucky you are... When your life's going wrong When the fates are unkind When you're limping along And get kicked from behind Tell yourself how lucky you are... (THE CAT lets the WHOS fall a little more) WHOS Aaah! CAT Why decry a cloudy sky An empty purse A crazy universe? My philosophy is simply Things could be worse! (The CAT sniffs the clover sneezes allergically - all over THE WHOS) AH ... AH. AH-CHOO! (The WHOS react in disgust at being sneezed on) WHOS EWWW! CAT So be happy you're here Think of life as a thrill And if worse comes to worse (As we all know it will) Thank your lucky star You've gotten this far... And tell yourself How lucky you are! How lucky, how lucky you are! (THE CAT, WHOS and JOJO are gone, and HORTON stands alone) HORTON That bird let that clover drop somewhere inside Of a great patch of clovers, one hundred miles wide! I'll find it, I'll find it! I'll find it or bust! I shall find my friends on their small speck of dust Yes, clover by clover by clover with care I'll listen and I'll call, are you there? Are you there? (HORTON begins his search for the WHOS clover by clover He picks one up, carefully puts it to his ear, listens for a beat, then tosses it over his shoulder He repeats this, carefully listening and then tossing GERTRUDE MCFUZZ enters. Her tail is now magnificent! She sings to HORTON, but he takes no notice because he is searching for the speck of dust)
