Lynn Ahrens - Here on Who lyrics

[Mayor- Off Stage] Help! Help! [Cat in the Hat, spoken] Then he heard it again, that small cry in the blue Horton still couldn't see them, but I'll show them to you [Horton, spoken] Hello, is anyone there? Who are you? [Mayor] Well We're who's here We are Whos here Smaller than the eye can see It's true, sir We're Who's who, sir I'm a Who and so is she [Mayor & Mrs. Mayor] We're tiny little people Blowing by in the air Wondering how and why We're on Who The tiniest planet in the sky [All] A-ladela-deladela who who A-ladela-deladela who A-ladela-deladela who who A-ladela-deladela... [Mayor & Mrs. Mayor] We're Whos here Win or lose here Struggling to stay alive Each gust propels our dust Oh, how the heck do Whos survive At any given moment We could crash or be drowned Hitting the ground, oh my Here on Who The tiniest planet in the sky Who, who [Mayor] I'm the mayor (Who, who) [Mrs. Mayor] I'm his wife (Who, who) [Mayor & Mrs. Mayor] Just imagine the Whos' unusual life Picture the tiniest houses and grocery stores (Who...) Tiny umbrellas that drip on the tiniest floors (Who...) The tiniest tunnels and tiniest streets Miniature buses with miniature seats Miniature buildings with miniature windows and doors [Horton] No smaller town than yours [Whos] We've got a marching band That is small but grand Oh, you ought to hear them wail And the grinch is here And every year [Grinch] I re-enact my Christmas tale Every Who down in Whoville Liked Christmas a lot But the Grinch, who lived just north or Whoville Did not [Mr. Mayor] Imagine a place that is tidy and totally clean (Who...) [Grinch] Where even a Grinch wouldn't dare to be totally mean (Who...) [Mayor] You think that it's heaven on Earth, yes you do [Whos] But heaven on Earth isn't heaven on Who Troubles on Who are the biggest that you've ever seen [Mayor] We're on the brink of war, they say We're going to war, and oh my 'Cause if we do, then here on Who Well, you can kiss Whoville goodbye Our skies are unbearably dark [Mrs. Mayor] And war is unbearably near [Mayor] And that's not the end of our troubles here [Whos] For on the other side of town The Truffula trees were all cut down They once stood tall, in all their glory- But that's another story... So here on Who We live in fear We're drifting through space And cannot steer A troubled and tiny land Our future's in your hand It's up to you, sir Please help Who, sir You're the only one who hears You must, sir Save our dust, sir Now that we have reached your ears We're tiny little people Saying thanks in advance Hoping perchance, you'll try Here on Who The tiniest planet in the sky [Horton] I won't let you down No, I won't let you fall A person's a person No matter how small A person's a person No matter how small (Who...) [Mayor, spoken] I'm the mayor of Who, why I've just been elected, and upright behavior is thus forth expected. Yet here sits my son who sent home by his teachers. For thinking strange thinks, and inventing strange creatures [Mrs. Mayor, spoken] We're going to speak with your teachers today and hope they have nothing too awful to say. If you're hungry, there's schlop in the fridgemerator [Mayor] We're late [Mrs. Mayor] Here's a kiss [Mayor & Mrs. Mayor] And we'll both see you later
