Overture Lyrics

A strange red-and-white-striped hat sits on a very empty stage.
A BOY (who will later play JOJO) enters and notices it.

BOY
Now that is a very unusual hat.
I wonder what's under a hat such as that.
It could be a creature they call the Ga-Zat
Who balances things on his head, cause it's flat.
Or a stripe-loving Pipester from Upper Mount Bat.
Or a sort of a kind of a hat-wearing...
Cat!

(THE BOY picks up the hat, and THE CAT IN THE HAT suddenly appears)
