When the news is all bad
When you’re sour and blue
When you start to get mad you should do what I do
(Pause)
Tell yourself, how lucky you are
When your life’s going wrong
When the fates are unkind
When you’re limping along and get kicked from behind
Tell yourself, how lucky you are
(Pause)
Why decry a cloudy sky?
An empty purse?
A crazy universe!
My philosophy is simply:
Things could be worse!
(Sneezes in flower)
So be happy you’re here
Think of life as a thrill!
And if worse comes to worse
(as we all know it will)
Thank your lucky star you’ve gotten this far
(Small pause)
We’re here in this beautiful theater and you’re in the first row!
How lucky to be in the theater, more lucky than you know
You could have the luck of our hero who’s luck is running low
For certain!
Curtain!
Horton: Oh No!
How lucky you areeee!
How lucky how lucky you are!

I’m doing seussical and it doesn’t have this song in it, it’s probably because I’m doing the jr version

Maybe this is to much reading into this disaster of a musical, but I believe the cat is here to represent ignorance from the overly optimistic. For anyone who's read "horton hears a who", its about people listening to childrens' problems, instead of casually pushing past them. Cat is here, saying, "Don't focus on the problems, and realize how lucky you are to be where you're at." Which is a slap in the face to any child, invalidating their experiences and personal issues. Instead of helping, he further drowns out the Whos' problems, by, in this case, dumping simular issues from others onto the pile. Explaining that they're not so different. Further invalidating their problems.
