Havin' a Hunch (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
SCARY VOICES (Offstage) Ooh! Wah-ooh-wah! Ooh! Wah-ooh-wah!
CAT Have you ever had a hunch You should follow your nose? Then you have a sudden hunch You should follow your toes? Soon a sneaky hunch is whispering Better go straight! And before you know it Oh, it's so late late late late!
SCARY VOICES (Echoing) Late late late late!
CAT Now a nervous hunch is telling you You could be lost!
SCARY VOICES (Echoing) Lost lost lost lost...
CAT As it leads you down a path You have already crossed.
SCARY VOICES (Echoing) Crossed, crossed, crossed, crossed!
CAT Soon you're overwhelmed by hunches That pester and pinch and punch! And you know you're havin' a hunch!
(The mysterious HUNCHES enter)
HUNCHES You're havin', you're havin' a hunch!
CAT A hunch!
HUNCHES You're havin' a hunch!
HUNCHES You're havin', you're havin' a hunch! You're havin' a hunch!
(A DREAM nightmare ensues, in which all kinds of strange Seussian creatures and events challenge and scare JOJO.)
HUNCHES Ooh! Ah!
HUNCHES, CAT Hunch!
HUNCHES Ooh! Ah!
HUNCHES, CAT Hunch!
HUNCHES Ooh! Ah! Hunch! Ooh! Ah! Hunch!
(At the height of his fright and confusion, JOJO confronts THE CAT.) JOJO You're nothing but trouble! Just trouble galore! You flooded my house, sent me marching to war. Filled my head full of Thinks! And you won't go away!
CAT All right. I'll be going. But first, let me say...
JOJO No!
CAT Think of nobody here And the feeling of fear Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And the darkness of night
HUNCHES Ooh Ooh...
ALL, CAT All alone in the gloom As you're facing your doom
CAT Think a glimmer of light!
(THE CAT turns on a light, and the HUNCHES are revealed as just a bunch of actors in costume. They're a little sheepish to be caught in the act. JOJO is amazed and relieved.)
JOJO You mean, that's it?
CAT That's it. It's all in your mind. You're a Thinker, JoJo. Tried and true. I don't often meet real Thinkers like you.
JOJO I want to go home.
CAT What, that's easy to do! Just follow your Hunches. They'll lead you home to Who.
Think a bridge to the shore And a road to your door. You'll be home before lunch!
JOJO Oh, the places I'll go If I follow my...
JOJO, HUNCHES Hunch!
HUNCHES, CAT Follow your Hunch!
(The HUNCHES and CAT now help JOJO to find his way home)
And oh! The places you'll go!
JOJO I've got brains in my head And feet in my shoes
ALL (EXCEPT JOJO) So steer yourself any direction you choose!
And oh, the places you'll go! Set your hunches free to wander And follow them where they roam
HUNCHES, CAT And follow your hunch Follow your hunch Follow it...
Follow your hunch Follow your hunch Follow it . .
Follow your hunch Follow your hunch Follow it
(The CAT and JOJO'S HUNCHES magically deliver JOJO home to his PARENTS.)
HUNCHES, OFFSTAGE VOICES Home ...
(Parents and son embrace joyfully)
ALL Anything's possible!
