Lynn Ahrens - Horton Hears a Who lyrics

[Cat in a Hat] Our story being with a very strange sound: The drums of a jungle beginning to pound! Now imagine the sky [Jojo] I'll imagine bright blue! [Cat] It's the Jungle of Nool. [Jojo] Near the River Walloo! [Jungle Citizens] Who! Who-Wha-dah Who! Who! Who-wah-dah-dah-dah! Who! Who-Wha-dah Who! Who! [Cat] Now, thinks of an elephant lumbering through. [Jungle Citizens] Who! Who-Wha-dah Who! Who! Who-wah-dah-dah-dah! [Jojo] Horton! [Cat] Yes, Horton! [Cat+Jojo] Horton heats a Who! [Horton] On the fifteenth of May, in the Jungle of Nool, in the heat of the day, in the cool of the pool, he was splashing... [Jungle Citizens] Splash! [Horton] Enjoying the jungle's great joys when Horton the Elephant [Jojo] Horton the Elephant [Horton+Jungle Citizens+Bird Girls] Horton the Elephant [Horton] Heard a small noise. [Mr. Mayor] Help! Help! [Bird Girl #1] So Horton stopped splashing. He looks toward the sound. [Horton] "That's funny." [Bird Girls] Thought Horton [Horton] "There's no one around" [Bird Girl #2] Then he heard it again! [Bird Girl #3] Just a very faint yelp [Horton] As if some tiny person were calling for help. [Mr. Mayor] 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] [Bird Girls] But a small speck of dust blowing past.. Wshhhhh.... through the air. I say! How confusing! I've never heard tell of a small speck of dust that is 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 who's 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... [Jungle Citizens] Who! Who-Wha-dah Who! Who! Who-wah-dah-dah-dah! Who! Who-Wha-dah Who! Who! [Bird Girls] So gently, and using the greatest of care, the elephant stretched his great truck through the air, and he lifted the dust speck and carried it over and placed it down [Horton] Safe! [Bird Girls] On a very soft clover....
