The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Original 2001 Broadway Cast)

[Widow Douglas]
You did it
Huck, you did it!
[Huck]
Give me those words
Watch this:
"Door"
"L...light"
"Table"
"Ah....Ahp...."
[The Widow]
Crunch
[Huck]
Apple!
[Window]
(laughs)
[Huck]
Apple!
They said I couldn't do it
They said I'd neverwould
They told me education wouldn't do me any good
It was like they had some secret
A poor boy weren't allowed
I said I couldn't do it, but I did it anyhow
I can read and I can write and they were wrong
I can tell you what these words are all day long
I can spell 'em and recite 'em
[The Widow]
You can do it infinitum
If there was any any doubt, my boy, it's gone
[Huck]
From mem'ry I can say my ABC's
And print them all as pretty as you please
[The Widow]
You have studied day and night
Now your victory's in sigh
[Huck]
I can read
[The Widow]
And you can write
[Both]
And they were wrong
[Huck]
Did you teach me all the letters?
[The Widow]
Yes, you know all 26
[Huck]
And all the combinations?
[The Widow]
Yes, I taught you all my tricks
[Both]
"I" before "E"
Except after "C"
[Huck]
I do believe I know 'em
[The Widow]
Now get out there and show 'em
[Huck]
I can read
And I can write
And they were wrong
Heck I told 'em I could do it all along
It just took a little practice
[The Widow]
Stuck to it like a cactus
Your life will be so dif'rent from now on
[Huck]
I can read
[The Widow]
And you can write
[Both]
And they were wrong
No nobody's going to say I/you don't belong
[The Widow]
The whole world's a little better
[Huck]
Ol' Huck's done learnt his lettes
[The Widow]
No sword will ever make you half as strong
[Huck]
I can read
[The Widow]
You can read
[Huck]
And I can write
[The Widow]
And you can write
[Both]
And they were wrong
