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

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
