How Lucky You Are (Mayzie’s Reprise) Lyrics by Stephen Flaherty & Lynn Ahrens

Seussical The Musical Jr.

0

[MAYZIE LaBIRD] (singing)
(improvised vocal scat)
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA...
I WAS DOWN IN FT. WORTH,
JUST A GIRL ON THE WING,
WHEN I MET TWEET McFIRTH.
OH, COULD THAT NIGHT OWL SING!
TELL YOURSELF
HOW LUCKY YOU ARE!
[CAT IN THE HAT] (as PIANIST)
(sings ala Louis Armstrong)
HOW LUCKY, HOW LUCKY YOU ARE–
[MAYZIE]
WE SPENT THREE WEEKS OF BLISS.
THEN, THE USUAL SEGUE:
HE FLEW OFF TO SAN JUAN
LEAVING ME WITH THIS EGG!
TELL YOURSELF
HOW LUCKY YOU ARE!
[CAT] (as PIANIST)
HOW LUCKY YOU ARE!
[MAYZIE]
NOW I'M BORED AND
I'M CRANKY AND TIRED
SITTING DAY AFTER DAY.
WHO KNEW SO MUCH WORK
WAS REQUIRED?!
I'D MUCH RATHER PLAY!
I NEED A VACATION!
I'M DUE FOR SOME REST—
HEY, HORTON, WOULD YOU MAYBE
LIKE TO SIT ON MY NEST?
[HORTON THE ELEPHANT] (spoken)
Why, Mayzie, I couldn't. Of all silly things!
I haven't got feathers. I haven't got wings.
And not only that, but I'm here on a search.
I just couldn't leave my poor Whos in the lurch!
[MAYZIE]
I won't be gone long, kid. I give you my word.
I'll hurry right back, 'cause I'm that sort of bird!
Oh, Horton, I promise! I'll fly back real soon.
I'd only be gone for, say, one afternoon!
(A beat, as HORTON considers this.)
[HORTON]
(Relenting)
Well...we all need vacations.
All right, go on, take it.
I'll sit on your egg
And I'll try not to break it.
But please come back quickly–
One hour, maybe two.
I need to find JoJo.
I've got to save Who!
[MAYZIE]
Hit it, Cat!
(The CAT strikes up an enеrgetic Latin beat on the piano, accompanying MAYZIE as shе flies off, thrilled with her newfound freedom.)
[MAYZIE]
Thanks! Thanks a million! Toodle-oooo!!
(The BIRD GIRLS watch as HORTON climbs the tree with great trepidation and gingerly gets into the nest.)
