Oh, The Thinks You Can Think! (Second Reprise)
[ALL] (singing)
OH, THE THINKS YOU CAN THINK!
THINK AND WONDER AND DREAM
FAR AND WIDE AS YOU DARE!
WHEN YOUR THINKS HAVE RUN DRY,
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
THERE'S ANOTHER THINK THERE!
IF YOU OPEN YOUR MIND,
OH, THE THINKS YOU WILL FIND
LINING UP TO GET LOOSE...
OH, THE THINKS YOU CAN THINK
[BASSES, & BARITONES]
OH, THE THINKS YOU CAN THINK
[ALL]
OH, THE THINKS YOU CAN THINK
[TENORS]
OH, THE THINKS YOU CAN THINK!
[ALL]
OH THE THINKS YOU CAN THINK
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT SEUSS!
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT SEUSS!
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT SEUSS!

(The characters dance off, fade away, disappear, one by one. Last to go is the CAT IN THE HAT. Finally, the BOY stands on an empty stage, holding his legacy, his imagination—embodied in the red-and-white-striped hat.)
[BOY] (spoken)
Seuss!
(The BOY pulls the CAT's HAT on, and it comes down over his eyes, causing a...
Blackout!)
