Kevin chamberlin - Horton Hears a Who (Original Broadway Cast Recording) lyrics

[HORTON] On the 15th of May In the Jungle of Nool In the heat of the day In the cool of the pool He was splashing Enjoying the jungle's great joys When Horton the Elephant [BIRD GIRLS] Horton the Elephant [ALL] Horton the Elephant [HORTON] Heard a small noise [MAYOR- OFF STAGE] Help! Help! [BIRD GIRL #1] So Horton stops splashing He looked toward the sound [HORTON] That's funny [BIRD GIRLS] But Horton [HORTON] There's no one around [BIRD GIRL #3] Then he heard it again [BIRD GIRL #2] Just a very faint yelp [HORTON] As if some tiny person were calling for help [MAYOR- OFF STAGE] Help! Help! [HORTON] I'll help you [BIRD GIRLS] Said Horton [HORTON] But who are you and where? [BIRD GIRLS] He looked and he looked He could see nothing there [HORTON] But a small speck of dust blowing past [HORTON, BIRD GIRLS] Through the air [HORTON] I say! How confusing I've never heard tell of a small speck of dust that was able to yell So, you know what I think I think there must be someone on top of that small speck of dust Some poor little person shaking with fear That he'll blow in the pool He has no way to steer He's alone in the universe I'll just have to save him Because after all A person's a person, no matter how small A person's a person no matter how small [BIRD GIRLS] So gently, and using The greatest of care The elephant stretched His great trunk through the air And he lifted the dust speck And carried it over And placed it down [HORTON, spoken] Safe! [BIRD GIRLS] On a very soft clover
