HORTON And now, little egg, You're alone in the universe too. Who would have thought you'd be left up to me, A fool of an elephant up in a tree, Well, this time, I swear I'll do better than try I'll protect you from harm. Yes, I'll do it or die! So rest now, young egg, And I'll sing you a lullaby... ----------------------------------------------------------------- (Reprise) HORTON Do you hear what I hear? Do you see what I mean? They made themselves heard though they still can't he seen! GERTRUDE They've proved they are persons, no matter how small. HORTON And their whole world was saved by the small- est of all! (THE SOUR KANGAROO has a change of heart and is slightly embarrassed) SOUR KANGAROO How true! Yes, how true! Said the sour kangaroo. And, from now on, you know what I'm planning to do? (with genuine sweetness) From now on, I'm going to protect them with you! And the young kangaroo in her pouch said... SMALL KANGAROO Me, too! CAT Their troubles were ended, they hailed his great.. ALL WHOS, CAT Yopp! CAT And Jojo was honored as "Thinker non-stop". (The WHOS carry him on their shoulders.) MR. AND MRS. MAYOR Now all Jojo's thinks would forever be heard. CAT Including this think... (We hear the sound of a giant egg cracking. GERTRUDE dashes over to HORTON and they watch as THE EGG hatches. We can only imagine what they're seeing by the wonder and joy on their faces.) JOJO, ALL (hushed wonder and amazement) An elephant bird! HORTON (very moved) Why he looks just like me. Except for the wings. GERTRUDE And except for the voice, 'cause that's how a bird sings. HORTON (slow mounting panic) Gertrude, what will I do? I'm slow and I'm fat All I know is the earth. He'll need much more than that! (A beat.) GERTRUDE (very tentative, very gentle) I have wings. Yes, I can fly. You teach him earth And I will teach him sky HORTON Just call my name BOTH And I'll see you through. HORTON One small voice in the universe GERTRUDE One true friend in the universe BOTH - Who believes in you. (HORTON and GERTRUDE come together over the cradle, looking down at their little elephant bird.) CAT The adventures were over. The sky became... JOJO Pink. CAT And then, guess what happened? JOJO (to audience) Well, what do you think?! Back to main page: Seussical Lyrics Broadway Seussical Lyrics
