SCARY VOICES (Offstage)
Ooh! Wah-ooh-wah!
Ooh! Wah-ooh-wah!
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!
Now a nervous hunch is telling you
You could be lost!
SCARY VOICES (Echoing)
Lost lost lost lost...
As it leads you down a path
You have already crossed.
SCARY VOICES (Echoing)
Crossed, crossed, crossed, crossed!
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!
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.)
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!
All right. I'll be going.
But first, let me say...
Think of nobody here
And the feeling of fear
And the darkness of night
HUNCHES
Ooh Ooh...
ALL, CAT
All alone in the gloom
As you're facing your doom
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.)
You mean, that's it?
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.
I want to go home.
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!
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!
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)
Anything's possible!
