Watch What Happens (Reprise)

Jack
There's no way I am putting them kids back in danger.

Davey
Tell me how quitting does
Crutchie any good.

Jack
Dszahdh

Davey
Exactly
So here's how it goes once we win
And we will be winning
Make no mistake

Jack
We'll be what?

Davey
We're already winning

Jack
Right

Davey
And we'll tell them straight out They let
Crutchie go or they keep getting pounded

Jack
Dave, what the hell?
Did they bust up your brains or somethin'?
As I recall Dave we all got our asses kicked They won.

Davey
Won the battle.

Jack
Oh come on.

Davey
Jack-y think about it, we got them surrounded.

Jack
Here's where I think Joe's a jerk
He's a rattle snake

Davey
You're right - and you know why a snake starts to rattle?

Jack
No, why?

Davey
'Cause he's scared.

Jack
Sure.

Davey
Go and look it up.
The poor guys head is spinning.
Why would he send for the goons, an entire army?
Dozens of goons and the cops.
And -

Jack
You know you may be right.

Davey
Thank you, God!

Jack
If he wasn't afraid -

Davey
Exactly -

Jack & Davey
He knows we're winning

Jack, Davey, Katherine, and Les:
Get those kids to see we're circling victory.
And watch what happens.
We're doing something no one's even tried
And, yes, we're terrified But watch what happens

Jack
You can't undo the past

Davey
So just move on and

Davey & Katherine
stay on track (stay on track)

Jack, Davey, Katherine & Les
'Cause humpty dumpty is about to crack

Katherine
We've got faith!

Davey
We've got the plan!

Les
And we've got Jack!

Jack, Davey, Katherine & Les
So just watch what happens.
We're back!

Les
And I've gotta date!
