[widow douglas]
you did it
huck, you did it!

[huck]
give me those words
watch this:
“door”
“l…light”
“table”
“ah….ahp….”

[the widow]
crunch

[huck]
apple!

[window]
(laughs)

[huck]
apple!
they said i couldn’t do it
they said i’d neverwould
they told me education wouldn’t do me any good
it was like they had some secret
a poor boy weren’t allowed
i said i couldn’t do it, but i did it anyhow
i can read and i can write and they were wrong
i can tell you what these words are all day long
i can spell ’em and recite ’em

[the widow]
you can do it infinitum
if there was any any doubt, my boy, it’s gone

[huck]
from mem’ry i can say my abc’s
and print them all as pretty as you please

[the widow]
you have studied day and night
now your victory’s in sigh

[huck]
i can read

[the widow]
and you can write

[both]
and they were wrong

[huck]
did you teach me all the letters?

[the widow]
yes, you know all 26

[huck]
and all the combinations?

[the widow]
yes, i taught you all my tricks

[both]
“i” before “e”
except after “c”

[huck]
i do believe i know ’em

[the widow]
now get out there and show ’em

[huck]
i can read
and i can write
and they were wrong
heck i told ’em i could do it all along
it just took a little practice

[the widow]
stuck to it like a cactus
your life will be so dif’rent from now on

[huck]
i can read

[the widow]
and you can write

[both]
and they were wrong
no n-body’s going to say i/you don’t belong

[the widow]
the whole world’s a little better

[huck]
ol’ huck’s done learnt his lettes

[the widow]
no sword will ever make you half as strong

[huck]
i can read

[the widow]
you can read

[huck]
and i can write

[the widow]
and you can write

[both]
and they were wrong
