boil it! boil! (we are here! we are here!)

[horton, mayor, & mrs. mayor]
jojo, think of something!

[cat]
now just for a moment, young jojo looked grim
the fate of the whos rested squarely on him
but then came a think
a peculiar new word no one ever had heard

[ensemble]
boil it! (we are here!
boil it! (we are here!)
boil it! (we are here!)
(we are here!)

[jojo]
yopp!
