♪♪ Whoo!

♪♪ Hey, we're here like you

Asked, but where are you at?

♪♪ This room's full of masks.

They look kind of scary.

♪♪ They're whiskered and

Twisted and feathered and hairy.

♪♪ I think I don't like them.

♪♪ I think I hate them.

♪♪ Where could the cat be?

♪♪ Maybe they ate him.

♪♪ Oh!

♪♪ Well, it's possible.

♪♪ Oh, it's more than possible.

It's likely. The cat was

Delicious, as good as can be,

From the tip of his hat to the

Top of his knee. But you can

Still see him. He really is

Near. As a matter of fact, he

Is standing right here. Had you

Going there, didn't i?

♪♪ Wow, you sure did!

♪♪ Why did you trick us like

That?

♪♪ Because, my young friends,

I'm the cat in the hat. The

Point of my trick--and I hope

You will see--is that things

Are not always what they seem

To be. What, you don't believe

Me? Well, then look around.

♪♪ Whoa. The walls are now

Trees.

♪♪ And the floor is now ground.

♪♪ Weird, man.

♪♪ Ha ha. Here we are. Don't be

Shy. Step right up, my felines

. Take a look. Take a peek.

Tell me, what do you see?

♪♪ Get out of here!

♪♪ Well--oh, you of such

Short-sighted tunnel vision.

You are blind to your own

Blindness. When you fall apart

Without my leadership, don't

Come crying to me. Oh! Oh!

♪♪ Getting kicked out of a

Kingdom.

♪♪ Again.

You see yertle the turtle

Getting kicked out of a kingdom

Again. And you know something?

You're absolutely right. But

Keep watching very carefully,

Because you can't believe

Everything you see.

♪♪ What a week I'm having. How

Tragic that all my magnificent

Greatness should go to waste.

No matter. I shall go on to

Bigger and better things.

Like this wall of shrubbery.

Oh, watch out, you botanical

Bulkhead! Whaahh! Yaaahhh!

Whoa. Wow, what a smell! One

More step and I'd have tumbled

Right into that garbage pit!

Aah!

Waah!

Unh!

I repeat--what a week I'm

Having!

D'oh!

♪♪ I sure wish we didn't have

To do this.

Thaddeus. We have reached the

Age of gloomph. It's our turn

To make the offering to the

Beast.

♪♪ Yeah. Oh, I heard it has

Huge red eyes, sharp green

Horns, and makes a horrible

Noise.

♪♪ I heard that it lives

Underground, and when it gets

Hungry, it rises up and pounces

On you.

♪♪ What would you do if you met

Up with the blag-bludder beast,

Gertrude?

♪♪ Well, what we've always been

Taught to do. I'd cover my

Eyes, bow my head, hide, and

Hope for the best.

♪♪ Yeah. I guess that's why

We're making this offering--so

We won't ever have to meet up

With it.

♪♪ Yeah, so let's get it done

And get back to the village, ok?

♪♪ Right.

♪♪ Right.

♪♪ Ready?

♪♪ Ready.

♪♪ Ok.

♪♪ With humble heart, we give

This feast...

Least...

East, here's rotted fruit, oh

Blag-bludder beast! Troomph!

Troomph! Troomph!

♪♪ Aaaaaarrrrgh!

♪♪ What was that?

♪♪ I don't know, but I'm not

Sticking around to find out.

Here!

Don't want to look. I don't

Want to look.

And long, stringy hair.

Noise! Thank goodness you came

Along to protect me.

Have to tell everyone what you

Battle some other fearsome

Creatures this afternoon,

But...what the hey? Lead on.
