Lyrics[]
- The Fish: She's passing Mrs. Plumberg's house.
- The Cat in the Hat: Sweep, Sweep up the memories. Those old, untidy memories. Broken, mixed-up memories. Of what we had one day.
- The Fish: She's passing Mrs. Thompson's house.
- The Cat in the Hat: Sweep, Sweep out the nonsense. That crazy happy nonsense. This world's too old for nonsense. Sweep, just sweep it all away.
- The Fish: Here she is coming up the driveway.
- The Cat in the Hat: Everything's in a state of grace. Everything's back in its proper place. No more rainbows for us to chase. No more games to play.
- The Fish: The garage door's open she's inside the garage.
- The Cat in the Hat: Sweep, Sweep out the laughter. There's no more time for laughter. At least, not until after I come back.
- The Fish: Now, she's getting her groceries out of the car.
- The Cat in the Hat: And you know.
- The Fish: Here she comes.
- The Cat in the Hat: I just may.
