It's Possible (In McElligot's Pool)

JOJO  This might be a pool,  Like I've read of in books,  Connected to one of those underground brooks!  An underground river  That starts here and flows  Right under this bathtub!  And then-  Who knows!  It's possible!  Anything's possible!  JOJO, CAT It's possible!  Anything's possible!  (JOJO's imagination starts to expand.) JOJO It might go along,  Down where no one can see  Right under state highway  Two hundred and three!  Right under the wagons!  Right under the toes  Of Mrs. Umbroso! ...  Who's hanging out clothes! It's possible!  Anything's possible.  JOJO, CAT It's possible!  Anything's possible!  JOJO This might be a river Now mightn't it be,  Connecting McElligot's Pool with the sea! Then maybe some fish might be swimming...  Swimming toward me!  (We are suddenly underwater.  Strange fish appear - all shapes and sizes, wildly-coloured and wildly improbable.  The FISH dance and swoop through the water in a "water ballet" with JOJO)  FISH FALSETTO GROUP  Ah! Oo-wee-ee-ee-ee-ooh! It's possible!  It's possible...  Ah! Oo-wee-ee-ee-ee-ooh!  It's possible  It's possible...  Ah!  JOJO FISH  Oh, the sea is so full Ooh ... Wah-ooh ...  Of a number of fish  If a fellow is patient Ooh ... Wah-ooh ...  He might get his wish!  And that's why I think Ooh ... Wah-ooh ...  That I'm not such a fool  When I sit here and fish When I sit here and fish  In McElligot's pool!  It's possible. It's possible It's possible  Anything's Possible. Possible.  It's possible. It's possible  It's possible  Anything's  Possible. Possible.  It's possible...  Anything...  Anything...  (JOJO's parents abruptly interrupt his fantasy.) MR. MAYOR  Jojo! The tub's overflowed on the floor! The water is running right under the door! MRS. MAYOR  The ceiling is peeling! You've flooded the den! Oh, JoJo, I think you've been Thinking again! MR. MAYOR  I say this with firmness and terrible sorrow,  Young man, we will deal with you come tomorrow! (MR. and MRS. MAYOR exit) JOJO I still think That I'm not such a fool  When I sit here and fish In McElligot's pool!  CAT It's possible. (The FISH magically re-appear) JOJO, CAT & FISH Anything's ... Possible! (Lights out on JOJO, as JOJO's PARENTS appear.)
