Oh, The Thinks You Can Think


CAT IN THE HAT
After all of those years being stuck on a page,
Did you ever imagine you'd see me onstage?
Now I'm here, there is no telling what may ensue!
No, there's no telling what!
But I'll give you a clue...

Oh, the thinks you can think!
Oh, the thinks you can think
If you're willing to try...

Think invisible ink!
Or a gink with a stink!
Or a stair to the sky...
If you open your mind,
Oh, the thinks you will find
Lining up to get loose...
Oh, the thinks you can think
When you think about Seuss!


CAT & COMPANY
Seuss!
Seuss!
Seuss!


MEN
Seuss!
Seuss!
Seuss!
Seuss!


WOMEN
Seuss!


ALL
Oh, the thinks you can think!
Any thinker who thinks
Can come up with a few!


CAT, HORTON, MAYZIE, GERTRTIDE, MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR
Oh, the thinks you can think!


ALL
Think a trip on a ship
To the Vipper of Vipp
Or to Solla Sollew...
Think of beautiful schlopp


CAT
With A cherry on top


ALL
You don't need an excuse!
Oh, the thinks you can think
When you think about Seuss!
Seuss, Seuss, Seuss,
Seuss....

Hmm!


ALL
Think!


HORTON
Of an elephant up in a tree


ALL
Think!


MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR
Of a person too tiny to see!


ALL
Think!


GERTRUDE
...of a bird with a one-feather tail


ALL
Going on adventure down a dangerous trail!


ALL
Think!


MAYZIE
...of a bird who flies off on a spree!


ALL
Think!


SOUR KANGAROO
...of a kangaroo, sour as can be!


ALL
Think!


SCHMITZ
...of a general crazy for war!


ALL
Think of a cat who pops up at your door!


CAT
How d'ya do and hello!
I'll be running the show!
I'm your host and emcee!


ALL
He's your host and emcee!


CAT
I'll pop up here and there


ALL
And you'll never know where,
Who or what he might be!


ALL
You'll see!


CAT
Take a tip from the cat
And hold onto your hat!


ALL
'Cause this ain't mother goose!


CAT
Think right over the brink!


ALL
When you think about Seuss!


MEN & WOMEN
Seu-u-u-u-u
Seu... Seu...
Seu-u-u-uss Seuss!
Seu-u-u-u-u
Seuss! Seuss! Seuss! Seuss!


CAT
An unusual story will soon be unfurled
Of an elephant trying to save a small world
And a boy from that world who has troubles galore...


CAT
Just think!


WHOS
From the Planet of Who


JOJO
And the smallest of small.


CITIZENS OF THE JUNGLE
To the jungle of Nool,


HORTON
And the largest of all


ALL

ALL
Just think!

Oh, the thinks you can think
Think and wonder and dream-
Far and wide as you dare!


CAT
Oh, the thinks you can think!


ALL
When your thinks have run dry,
In the blink of an eye
There's another think there!
If you open your mind,
Oh, the thinks you will find
Lining up to get loose!
Oh, the thinks you can think


BARITONES AND BASSES
Oh, the thinks you can think


ALL

Horton Hears A Who


JUNGLE CITIZENS
Who who wah dah
Who who who wah dah dah dah
Who who wah dah
Who 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


BIRD GIRLS
Horton the Elephant


HORTON, BIRD GIRLS & ALL
Horton the elephant
Heard a small noise.


MAYOR
Help! Help!


BIRD GIRL #1
So Horton stopped splashing
He looked toward the sound


HORTON
That's funny.


BIRD GIRLS
Thought 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
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 is able to yell,
So you know what I think?
Why I think that 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 wah dah
who who who wah dah dah dah
who who wah dah
who who


BIRD GIRLS # 1, 2 & 3
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
Safe!


BIRD GIRLS
On a very soft clover.



Biggest Blame Fool


SOUR KANGAROO
Humpf!... Humpfed a voice.
'Twas a sour kangaroo,
And the young kangaroo in her pouch said:


YOUNG KANGAROO
Humpf


SOUR KANGAROO
Too!

Why that speck is as small
As the head of a pin.
A person on that?
Why there never has been!

You're the biggest blame fool
I in the Jungle of Nool
And I don't care who I tell.
The biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool,


YOUNG KANGAROO
And I think so as well!


SOUR KANGAROO
Maybe I'm nasty, maybe I'm cruel
But you're the biggest blame fool


YOUNG KANGAROO
In the Jungle of Nool.


HORTON
It's true. Please believe me! I tell you sincerely
My ears are quite keen and I heard him quite clearly
I know there's a person down there. And what's more,
Quite likely there's two, even three, even four!


WICKERSHAM #2
Ha! Laughed a voice!


WICKERSHAM #1 & 3
Ha! Laughed some others!


WICKERSHAMS
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Laughed the Wickersham brothers!

Oh, he's the biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
And monkeys like us should know.


SOUR KANGAROO
No, no, no, no!


WICKERSHAMS
We've been out on a limb
Lookin' down on him-


WICKERSHAM #1
And he's fat!


WICKERSHAM #2
He's dumb!


WICKERSHAM #3
He's slow!


SOUR KANGAROO
Uh huh!


SOUR KANGAROO & WICKERSHAMS
Elephants ain't too swift as a rule
But he's the biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool.
'Cause he's talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust


WICKERSHAM #3
Blame fool in the Jungle of Nool


WICKERSHAMS, BIRD GIRLS & SOUR KANGAROO
Talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust!


WICKERSHAM #3
Blame fool in the Jungle of Nool


SOUR KANGAROO
R-e-s-p-e-c-k!
Oh, please! Take that speck away!


ALL
Did you hear?
Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?


BIRD GIRLS
Through the jungle, the news quickly spread.


ALL
Did you hear?
Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?


BIRD GIRLS
He talks to a dust speck!
He's out of his head!


CAT
Our topic today is "psychic elephants who hear voices.'
Whaddaya think, folks...
Is the elephant off his trunk?
Don't go away
We'll he right back with "speck", "clover", "dust", "neighbor", 'who'....

Stay tuned - we'll be right back!


ALL
Biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool


GERTRUDE
I'm Gertrude McFuzz, and I live right next door.
He's never done anything crazy before.


ALL
Biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool


GERTRUDE
He's always been friendly and loyal and kind.
I just don't believe Horton's out of his mind!


ALL
Did you hear?
Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?


MAYZIE
I'm Mayzie La Bird
And I live in that tree.


ALL
Did you hear?
Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?


MAYZIE
Enough about Horton. Let's talk about me!


MAYZIE & BIRD GIRLS
Let's talk about, talk about,
Talk about, talk about...
Me!


ALL
Talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust

ALL
Talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust


WICKERSHAM #3
Blame fool in the fool!
Jungle of Nool


HORTON
I just have to save them, because after all
A person's a person no matter how small.


HORTON &GERTRUDE
A person's a person no matter how...


ALL
Biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
In the jungle, anywhere.
Check the big nervous wreck
Who's protectin' a speck
When he knows there's no one there!


WICKERSHAMS #1, 2 & 3
Actin' as if he's holdin' a jewel


SOUR KANGAROO
Somebody stuck a trunk on a mule!


ALL
Biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of
Nool, Nool, Nool!
In the Jungle of Nool, Nool, Nool!
In the Jungle of Nool, Nool, Nool!



Here On Who


MAYOR
Help!
Help!


CAT
Then he heard it again.
That small cry in the blue.


CAT
Horton still couldn't see them...
But I'll show them to you!


HORTON
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 ti-iniest
Planet in the sky!


WHOS
A-ladela-deladela who who
A-ladela-deladela who
A-ladela-deladela who who
A-ladela-dela...
We're Whos here,
Win or lose here,
Struggling to stay alive.

Each gust pro-
Pels 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 ti-iniest
Planet in the sky

Who! Who! Who! Who!


MAYOR
I'm the mayor.


WHOS
Who! Who! Who! Who!


MRS. MAYOR
I'm his wife.


WHOS
Who! Who! Who! Who!


MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR
Just imagine the Whos' unusual life!


WHO FAMILY #1
Picture the tiniest houses and grocery stores.


WHO WOMEN
Who...


WHO FAMILY #2
Tiny umbrellas that drip on the tiniest floors.


WHO MEN
Who...


WHO FAMILY #3
The tiniest tunnels and tiniest streets.


WHO FAMILY #4
Miniature buses
With miniature seats.


WHO FAMILY #5
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!


WHOS
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 of Whoville
Did not!


MAYOR
Imagine a place that is tidy
And totally clean,


WHOS
Who...


GRINCH
Where even a Grinch
Wouldn't dare to be
Totally mean!


WHOS
Who...


MAYOR
You think that it's heaven on earth
Yes, you do!
But heaven on earth isn't heaven on Who!


WHOS
Troubles on Who
Are the biggest that you've ever seen.


MAYOR
We're on the brink of war, they say


WHOS & MAYOR
We're going to war, and oh my!


MAYOR
'Cause if we do, then here on Who


WHOS & MAYOR
Well, you can kiss Whoville goodbye!


MAYOR
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 a 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 ti-iniest
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.


WHOS
Who!


MR. MAYOR
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's sent home by his teachers
For thinking strange thinks and inventing strange creatures!


MRS. MAYOR
We're going to speak with your teachers today
And I hope they have no thing too awful to say
If you're hungry there's schlopp in the frig-a-merator.


MR. MAYOR
We're late.


MRS. MAYOR
Here's a kiss.


MR. MAYOR
And well both see you later.



A Day For The Cat In The Hat


CAT
You're sad!
Oh dear!
Well, luckily for you
The cat is here!

Think of a day
That is rainy and gray
And as dull as they come.
And there is
Nobody there.
And you're kickin' a chair
And it's oh so ho hum!
Nothin' to do
And nobody but you
On a day that is flatter than flat.
Well, that is a day
For the cat in the hat!

Think of a house
That is small as a mouse
And as neat as a pin.
Oh, it's so tidy and clean
If you know what I mean
And your folks are not in!
No one but you
Since a quarter to two
And you've sat and you've sat and you've sat!
Oh, that is the time
For the cat in the hat

The cat in the hat in the hat
In the hat in the hat!


ONE HELPER
The cat


TWO HELPERS
And the cat


THREE HELPERS
And the cat


FOUR HELPERS
And the cat


CAT & HELPERS
In the hat!

Think of a day
That is rainy and gray
And I'll show you some tricks!

'Cause there is no one but you
And your folks aren't due
Till a quarter past six!

Bounce on the brink
Of whatever you think
And oh, what could be better than that!


JOJO, CAT & HELPERS
And that is the fun
Of the cat in the hat!


CAT & HELPERS
You've got a mind
That is one of a kind
So why hide it away!
It's time to open the locks
And think out of the box
And today is your day!
Bounce on the brink
Of whatever you think
And oh, what could be better than that?


JOJO, CAT & HELPERS
And that is the fun of the cat...


CAT & HELPERS
In the hat!


CAT
The cat in the hat!



It's Possible (McElligot's Pool)


JOJO
Try not to think.
Try to behave.
Try not to think.
I'll think of
Taking a bath in a drippy old tub
Going plink.
Plink. Plink. Plink!
But when I think of that plinkety plink
I see fish swimming by in a school
Hey maybe this tub is...
McElligot's Pool.

This might be a pool,
Like I've read of in books,
Connected to one of those underground brooks!
An underground river
That starts here and flows
Right under this bathtub! And then
Who knows!

It's possible!
Anything's possible!

It might go along,
Down where no one can see
Right under state highway
Two hundred and three!
Right under the wagons!
Right under the toes
Of Mrs. Umbroso!...
Who's hanging out clothes!

It's possible!
Anything's possible.

This might be a river,
Now mightn't it be,
Connecting McElligot's pool with the sea
Then maybe some fish might be swimming...
Swimming toward me!


FISH
Ah! Oo-wee-ee-ee-ee-ooh!
It's possible!
It's possible...
Ah! Oo-wee-ee-ee-ee-ooh!
It's possible
It's possible...
Ah!

It's possible...


JOJO & FISH
Anything's...
Possible!



How To Raise A Child


MRS. MAYOR
He's a perfect little boy
But he's acting very strange.


MAYOR
Is it all a part of growing up
Or did something make him change?
We could just lay down the law.


MRS. MAYOR
We could simply let him grow.


MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR
Oh, where are the instructions on how to raise a child?
Who has the instructions on how to raise a child?
Who has all the answers?
I don't know.



The Military


SCHMITZ
I'm General Genghis Kahn Schmitz.
I scare children out of their wits.
But you'll see at a glance, sir,
My school is the answer
For shirkers and dreamers and twits...
And in this case, I'd say the shoe fits!

Ten hut!
Feet together. Chin up. Eyes on the prize, forward...
Harch!

The military academy
Is the place where he should be sent.
We'll drill the silliness from his head
I'm sure we'll make a dent!

We'll teach him fighting
And left and righting
Until he's muscled and tan!
A-hut-two-three!
He's pathetic!
A-hut-two-three!
Unathletic!
A-hut-two-three!
But I'm betting we can!
The military!
That's what makes a boy... A man!


CADETS
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz,
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz,
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz!


SCHMITZ
The military's extraordinarily
Good for somebody meek.
He'll bunk with bullies who beat him up


CADETS
At least three times a week!


SCHMITZ
He'll sweat and shiver and eat raw liver.
It's all a part of the plan!


CADETS
A-hut-two-three!


SCHMITZ
When they suffer,


CADETS
A-hut-two-three!


SCHMITZ
Boys get tougher!


CADETS
A-hut-two-three!


SCHMITZ
And it's time he began!

The military!
That's what makes a boy...


CADETS
That's what makes a boy...


SCHMITZ & CADETS
A man!


CADETS
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz!


SCHMITZ
Our boys believe
In the right of every who
To eat their bread
Butter side up!


CADETS
Butter side up!


SCHMITZ
One thing we trust
On this fragile speck of dust
Is eating bread
Butter side up!


JOJO
Butter side up?


SCHMITZ
And as for those who like their butter down


CADETS
Down! Down! Down!


SCHMITZ
We'll nucleate 'em!
We'll spiff-licate 'em!


SCHMITZ & CADETS
We'll go to war
And run them out of town!


CADETS
A-hut-two-three!


SCHMITZ
We enlist 'em.


CADETS
A-hut-two-three


SCHMITZ
In our system.
And boys soon see
Nothing's easier than...
The military!


SCHMITZ
That's what makes a boy...


CADETS
That's what makes a boy...
That's what makes a boy ...
That's what makes a boy...


SCHMITZ & CADETS
A man!!!


CADETS
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz!


SCHMITZ
I do not like green eggs and ham!


CADETS
I do not like green eggs and ham!


SCHMITZ
I do not like them, Sam I am!


CADETS
I do not like them, Sam I am!


SCHMITZ
Sound off!


CADETS
Eggs and ham!


SCHMITZ
Sound off!


CADETS
Sam I am!


SCHMITZ & CADETS
I do not like green eggs...
And ham!



Alone In The Universe


HORTON
I've been guarding this clover
For over a week,
Getting laughed at
For thinking a dust speck can speak.
Well, let them all laugh
I'll try not to mind,
For I have found something
That they'll never find!

There are secrets on a leaf,
In the water, in the air,
Hidden planets, tiny worlds,
All invisible!
Not a person seems to know.
Not a person seems to care.
There is no one who believes a thing I say...

Well, I'm fairly certain
At one time or other,
Great thinkers all feel this way!

I'm alone in the universe.
So alone in the universe.
I've found magic but they don't see it

They all call me a lunatic.
Ok, call me a lunatic.
If I stand on my own, so be it.

'Cause I have wings.
Yes, I can fly
Around the moon
And far beyond the sky
And one day soon
I know there you'll be
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me...


JOJO
I'm alone in the universe.
So alone in the universe.
My own planets and stars
Are glowing.


HORTON
Alone in the universe


JOJO
No one notices anything.
Not one person is listening.
They don't have any way of knowing.


HORTON
Nobody knows that
I have wings


JOJO
I have wings.


HORTON
And, I can fly


JOJO
I can fly


HORTON
Around the moon
And far


JOJO & HORTON
Beyond the sky

Well someday soon
You will hear my plea


HORTON
One small voice in the universe


JOJO
One true friend in the universe


JOJO & HORTON
Please believe in me...


HORTON
Hello... hello?


JOJO
Hello?


HORTON
Who's there?


JOJO
It's me, Jojo.
The Mayor's son.


HORTON
Oh, I'm Horton. The elephant


JOJO
Are you real, or are you a very
Large think?


HORTON
Oh, I'm real, all right. I would state that in ink.


JOJO
In my thinks, I imagine a lot of
Strange things
And I go to strange places, as if
I had wings!
I love a good think!


HORTON
Well, for me that goes double.


JOJO
Sometimes my thinks are what get me in trouble.


HORTON
When you think, do you dream?


JOJO
In bright colors!


HORTON
Me too. And I go to strange places
Like Solla Sollew!


JOJO
When you think, do you think
You could fly to the stars?


HORTON
Oh, little friend, no one else
Could have thinks such as ours!


HORTON
Yes, I have wings.


JOJO
I have wings


HORTON
And I can fly


JOJO
I can fly ...


HORTON
Around the moon and...


HORTON & JOJO
Far beyond the sky


HORTON
You called my name
And you set me free
One small voice in the universe


JOJO
One true friend in the universe


HORTON & JOJO
Who believes in me.


HORTON
Goodnight Jojo.


JOJO
Goodnight Horton. See you in Solla Sollew!



The One Feather Tail Of Miss Gertrude McFuzz


GERTRUDE
Tu-duh tee-duh tee-duh du-du-du-du
There once was a girl bird named Gertrude McFuzz
And she had the smallest plain tail ever was.
One droopy-droop feather, that's all that she had
And oh! That one feather made Gertrude so sad

She curled it. She dyed it she gave it a puff
She decked it with flowers
But it wasn't enough.
For no matter what,
It just was what it was
A tail that simply wasn't meant
To catch the eye of an elephant...
The one feather tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz



Amayzing Mayzie


MAYZIE
I was once a plain little bird like you, kid.
One pathetic feather was all I grew.
I had nothing showoff-ish.
What's a plain bird to do?
And there's certainly nothing showoff-ish on you!


GERTRUDE
Thank you, Mayzie


MAYZIE
Then I made a plan for my self-improvement
No more crumbs. I vowed I would have the cake!
Yes, I went to the doctor


BIRD GIRLS
Doctor Dake by the lake!


MAYZIE
And he told me
What sort of a pill I should take
Now I'm...
Amayzing Mayzie!
As feathered as feathered can be now!
Amayzing Mayzie!
It was all for sale!


MAYZIE & BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Mayzie!


MAYZIE
The birds are all whistling at me now.


MAYZIE & BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Mayzie!


MAYZIE
Baby, that's my tail!


BIRD GIRLS
High or low


GERTRUDE
Gee, it's fabulous!


BIRD GIRLS
Watch her go


GERTRUDE
Gee, I'm envious!


BIRD GIRLS
To and fro,
Mayzie's fabulous tail!


GERTRUDE
I wish I had one like it


BIRD GIRLS
Left and right


GERTRUDE
Best I've ever seen


BIRD GIRLS
Day or night


MAYZIE
Kid, you're turning green!


GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
What a sight
Mayzie's fabulous tail!


MAYZIE
Get those pills


BIRD GIRLS
Get the pills


MAYZIE
And you can have frills


BIRD GIRLS
Frills!


MAYZIE & BIRD GIRLS
For all the world to see
And you can be amayzing


MAYZIE
Well almost...
As amayzing...
As me!!!



Amayzing Gertrude


GERTRUDE
So she flew to the doctor,
The doctor named Dake
Whose office was high in a tree by the lake.
And she cried, -Mr. Doctor!- oh, please, do you know
Of some kind of pill that will make my tail grow?


CAT
"Tut tut!", sagt der docktor,
Diese gespra che ist zu veruckti
Ihr kleiner feder swanze ist genau richtig fur ihr vogel art!


GERTRUDE
Huh??


CAT
In other words, your little tail is just right for your kind of bird!


GERTRUDE
No!!
Then Gertrude had tantrums. She raised such a din
That finally the doctor just had to give in.


CAT
Alright already!
Bitte shben herr mit der pill- berry bush! Meine gute!


GERTRUDE
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp gulp gulp!
What was that?
Something's itching me!
What was that?
Something's twitching me!
What was that?
Are those feathers I see?
I think my tail's beginning!
Oh my word!
This is wonderful!
Second, third,
Wow, I'm colorful!

I'm beginning to be...
Amayzing Gertrude


BIRD GIRLS
Just look at the tail she is sportin,


GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Gertrude


GERTRUDE
Thank you, Doctor Dake!


BIRD GIRLS

GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Gertrude!


GERTRUDE
And hopefully I'll impress Horton!


BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Gertrude...


GERTRUDE
One more pill will do me good
Yes, it will!
One more, one more, one more pill


BIRD GIRLS
Soon, she'll have the biggest tail...
She'll have the biggest tail!


GERTRUDE
I'll have the biggest tail!


GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
The biggest tail of...


GERTRUDE

BIRD GIRLS
All!



Monkey Around


WICKERSHAMS
Yeah!


WICKERSHAM #1
There's a rustle in the bushes.
There's a tremble in the trees.
Hear it like a whisper
Smell it on the summer breeze.


WICKERSHAMS
Mm-hmm!


WICKERSHAM #1
Somethin' big is getting nearer


WICKERSHAMS #2 & 3
Ooh... mm-hmm!


WICKERSHAMS #1
Somethin' big is comin' through


WICKERSHAMS #2 & 3
Ooh... mm-hmm


WICKERSHAMS #1
Got some monkey business


WICKERSHAMS
That's what we intend to do...

Come on!
I wanna monkey,
Monkey around
Come on!
I gotta monkey
Monkey around
Come on!
We're gonna monkey
Ooh, we're gonna monkey around!
Ooh!


HORTON
The Wickershams. Uh, hello.


WICKERSHAM #2
Well, it's bigger than a breadbox


WICKERSHAM # 1 & 3
Mm-hmm!


WICKERSHAM #3
Hey, it's wider than a whale!


WICKERSHAMS #1 & 2
Mm-hmm!


WICKERSHAM #1
Peanut butter breath


WICKERSHAMS
And scared to death from head to tail!


WICKERSHAM #1
So you're still talking to dust oh,
What rot!


WICKERSHAM #2
A dust speck that's all full of Whos
Who are not!


WICKERSHAM #3
There aren't any Whos. Why I don't hear a sound!


WICKERSHAMS
Come on! We've gotta monkey...
Monkey around!



Chasing The Whos


HORTON
Hey! Give that back! Stop!


SOUR KANGAROO
Up out of the jungle
Up into the sky.
Up over the mountains


SOUR KANGAROO & BIRD GIRLS
Ten thousand feet high.


SOUR KANGAROO
Then down from the mountains


SOUR KANGAROO & BIRD GIRLS
And into the news


ALL
Went Horton the elephant
Chasing the Whos!


WOMEN
Chasing the Whos!


MEN
Chasing the Whos!


CAT
This is the cat in the hat live from Sky cam five.
Folks, the Jungle of Nool is one heck of a drive.
We've got monkeys backed up to the three-oh-two
I'd find alternate routes if I were you!


WICKERSHAMS, SOUR KANGAROO & BIRD GIRLS
Then over the desert,
The desert of Dreze!
And into the forest with thousands of trees
Past Sneetches on beaches


SOUR KANGAROO
And sour kangaroos!


ALL
Went Horton the elephant
Chasing the Whos
Chasing the Whos!
Chasing the Whos!
Chasing the...
Chasing the Whos!


WICKERSHAM #1
Still chasing your dust? Why it's safe as can be.


WICKERSHAM #2
We're monkeys to trust
Or don't you agree?


WICKERSHAM #3
Well, just to be sure
We are handing it off


WICKERSHAMS
To a black-bottomed eagle named


VLAD VLADIKOFF
Vlad Vladikoff!!


HORTON
No! Please! Wait!!


BIRD GIRLS
All that late afternoon and far into the night
That black-bottomed bird
Flapped his wings in fast flight, and he paid no attention to Horton's loud call:


HORTON
A person's a person
No matter how small!


WHOS
Oooh... Aaaahhh!!!

We're Whos here! We're all Whos here!
Please don't let us fall!
Aaah!

We're Whos here. We could bruise here!
Helpless, weak and small.


ALL
On Horton traveled
And on that bird flew.
And, oh, there was trouble,


WHOS
Trouble on Who!


ALL
That black-bottomed eagle was cruel as could be...


HORTON
'Cause at six fifty-six, Vlad Vladikoff dropped it
The clover went tumbling and nobody stopped it!
Head over heels, one hundred miles down, fell
The poor little Whos and their whole tiny town


WHOS
Aaah!



How Lucky You Are


CAT
When the news is all bad,
When you're sour and blue,
When you start to get mad
You should do what I do


WHOS
Aaah!


CAT IN THE HAT
Tell yourself
How lucky you are...

When your life's going wrong
When the fates are unkind
When you're limping along
And get kicked from behind
Tell yourself how lucky you are...


WHOS
Aaah!


CAT
Why decry a cloudy sky
An empty purse
A crazy universe?
My philosophy is simply
Things could be worse!
Ah... Ah... Ah-choo!


WHOS
Ewww !


CAT
So be happy you're here.
Think of life as a thrill
And if worse comes to worse
As we all know it will
Thank your lucky star
You've gotten this far...
And tell yourself
How lucky you are!
How lucky, how lucky, how lucky,
How lucky, how lucky, how lucky,
You are!


HORTON
That bird let that clover drop somewhere inside
Of a great patch of clovers, one hundred miles wide!
I'll find it, I'll find it!
I'll find it or bust!
I'll find my friends on their small speck of dust.
Yes, clover by clover by clover with care
I'll listen and I'll call, are you there?
Are you there?



Notice Me, Horton


GERTRUDE
It's taken all my courage to approach you
Not to mention all my stamina to follow you
Across the hills and deserts.
But I feel as if I'm ready
To confess to you the feelings
That I've hidden with great diligence and labor...
Behind the facade
Of your odd little next-door neighbor.
My eyes are too small.
I have very large feet.
And I'm not very proud of my pitiful tweet
But I've now got a tail
That is something to see.


HORTON
One hundred and two. One hundred and three.


GERTRUDE
Oh, notice me, Horton, feather by feather.
This is your next-door neighbor calling!
Notice me, Horton.
Horton, together
We could be great
Oh, notice me, Horton
Put down the clover!
This is your next-door neighbor calling.
There's a new leaf
Your neighbor's turned over


HORTON
Over and over,
Clover by clover...


GERTRUDE & HORTON
I was just a no one only yesterday.
You showed up and showed me something more.
Now I've become a someone
Who has someone to believe in
And to be there for...


GERTRUDE
I will not give up hope.
I was hooked from the start
When I noticed your kind
And your powerful heart.
So notice me, Horton...


HORTON
Oh, the world would be something new


GERTRUDE
Notice me, Horton


HORTON
If they noticed a thing or two...


GERTRUDE
Notice me, Horton


GERTRUDE & HORTON
The way I notice you.


HORTON
Two million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine. It's hopeless.


MAYZIE
You said it kid.


HORTON
Who's there?


MAYZIE
It's me. Mayzie. Up here.


HORTON
Mayzie... Are you on a nest?


MAYZIE
Yeah. You wanna make something of it?


HORTON
No, I just never thought I'd see you on a nest


MAYZIE
Neither did I, Hort... neither did I



How Lucky You Are (Mayzie's Reprise)


MAYZIE
I was down in Fort Worth,
Just a girl on the wing,
When I met Tweet McFirth.
Oh, could that fellow sing!
Tell yourself
How lucky you are!


CAT
How lucky, how lucky you are-


MAYZIE
It was three weeks of bliss.
Then the usual segue:
He flew off to San Juan
Leaving me with this egg!
Tell yourself
How lucky you are!


CAT
How lucky you are!


MAYZIE
Now I'm bored and
I'm cranky and tired
Sitting day after day.
Who knew so much work was required?!
I'd much rather play!
I need a vacation!
I'm due for some rest
Hey, Horton, would you maybe like to sit on my nest?


HORTON
Well, we all need vacations.
All right go on, take it
I'll sit on your egg
And I'll try not to break it
But please come back quickly- one hour, maybe two.
I need to find Jojo.
I've got to save Who!


MAYZIE
Hit it cat! Toodle-oooo!



Horton Sits On The Egg


BIRD GIRLS
Then carefully, tenderly,
Gently he crept
Up the trunk to the nest
Where the little egg slept.
Then Horton the elephant smiled:


HORTON
Now that's that.


BIRD GIRLS
And he sat and he sat
And he sat and he sat.
He sat all that day
And he kept the egg warm...
And he sat all that night
Through a terrible storm...


HORTON
I can't leave this nest.
No, I meant what I said.
This egg might get frozen
But the Whos might be dead!
I couldn't say no
When I heard Mayzie beg
Now I'm caught between a dust spec and an incubating egg!
Oh no, hunters, someone help me, hunters, someone, help!


GERTRUDE
Horton!... Horton!



How Lucky You Are / Act One Finale


HORTON
When your life's going wrong
And you're wondering why


GERTRUDE
When your tail is so long
You're unable to fly!


CAT & HORTON & GERTRUDE
Tell yourself
How lucky you are.


ALL
Why decry
A cloudy sky,
An empty purse,
A crazy universe.
My philosophy is simply:


WHOS
Things could be worse!


ALL
So be happy you're here.
Think of life as a thrill!
And if worse comes to worse,
As we all know it will,
Thank your lucky star
You've gotten this far...


CAT
And tell yourself...


ALL
How lucky you are... How lucky! How lucky!
How lucky you are... How lucky! How lucky!
How lucky you are... How lucky! How lucky!
How lucky! How lucky!
How lucky!
How lucky you are!



Egg, Nest And Tree


SOUR KANGAROO
Up out of the jungle
Up into the sky
Up over the mountains


BIRD GIRLS, WICKERSHAMS & SOUR KANGAROO
Ten thousand feet high.


SOUR KANGAROO & BIRD GIRLS
Then down from the mountains


BIRD GIRLS & WICKERSHAMS & SOUR KANGAROO
And down to the sea


ALL
Went Horton the elephant
Egg, nest and tree


WOMEN
Egg, nest and tree!


MEN
Egg, nest and tree!


ALL
They loaded the wagon right onto a ship
Out over the ocean
And ooh, what a trip!
Rolling and tossing
And sick as could be!

Just a seasick elephant
Egg, nest and tree


MEN
Nest and tree


ALL
Egg, nest and tree...


MEN
Nest and tree


BIRD GIRL #1
After bobbing around for two weeks like a cork


ALL
Egg, nest and tree!


BIRD GIRL #2
They landed at last
In the town of New York


ALL
Egg, nest and tree!


BIRD GIRL #3
He was wet he was tired
And hungry and cold


ALL
Egg, nest and tree!


BIRD GIRLS
Then, Horton was taken to auction...


CAT
And sold! To the man from the circus!


ALL
Sold...
Sold...
Sold...
Egg, nest and tree.



Mayzie In Palm Beach


MAYZIE
A circus! I love a show! I think I'll go!


MAYZIE
Good gracious! I've seen you before, now, let's see


HORTON
Why Mayzie, it's Horton! Remember? It's me!
I've sat on your egg now for fifty-one weeks!
I've sat here while people have paid to take peeks!
I've sat here through lightning and hail storms and snow!
Won't you take back your egg?


MAYZIE
Gee. I really don't know...
Oh, wow, it's really late!
And gee, I've got a date!
And lots of places to be
But it's so great to see you!

Look at you!
Who would ever guess?
Look at you!
Such a big success...
And it's all thanks to me!

Amayzing Horton!
That egg-sitting circus sensation!
Amayzing Horton!
Even I'm impressed!
Amayzing Horton!
While I was off taking vacation
You made your fortune
Up on Mayzie's nest...
I may be
Unreliable
Fancy free
Irresponsible

Crazy me,
Always eager to fly
But seeing you
Gives me true delight
Just this once
I've done something right

The egg is all yours!


HORTON
But-


MAYZIE
No, don't thank me,
I'll cry!

Good luck when it hatches
Good luck...
And goodbye



Alone In The Universe (Reprise)


HORTON
I meant what I said,
And I said what I meant
An elephants faithful,
One hundred percent
But I lost my poor Whos
And their whole tiny town
I couldn't protect them
And I let Jojo down

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...



Solla Sollew


HORTON
There's a faraway land
So the stories all tell
Somewhere beyond the horizon
If we can find it
Then all will be well,
Troubles there are few,
Someday, we'll go to...
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew


HORTON & CIRCUS ANIMALS
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew


JOJO
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm thinking of you.
And wishing we all were in Solla Sollew


MAYOR
They say breezes are warm there


MRS. MAYOR
And people are kind


JOJO
Maybe it's something like heaven


JOJO, MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR
I close my eyes
And I see in my mind
Skies of bluest blue


ALL
Solla Sollew


HORTON
I've had so much trouble
Finding my way there
When I get close,
It disappears


JOJO, MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR & CIRCUS ANIMALS
Solla Sollew


HORTON
If we can get there,
We're gonna stay there
If it takes us miles,


JOJO, MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR & CIRCUS ANIMALS
If it takes us miles


HORTON
If it takes us years
High on a mountain
Or lost on the sea,


HORTON & JOJO
Sooner or later, I'll find it


MAYOR
I have a picture
Of how it will be


MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR
On the day I do


HORTON & MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR & JOJO
Troubles will be through
And I'll be home with you

Havin' A Hunch


SCARY VOICES
Ooh! Wah-ooh-wah!
Ooh! Wah-ooh-wah!


CAT
Have you ever had a hunch
You should follow your nose?
Then you have a sudden hunch
You should follow your toes?

Soon a sneaky hunch is whispering
Better go straight!
And before you know it
Oh, it's so late late late late!


HUNCHES
Late late late late!


CAT
Now a nervous hunch is telling you
You could be lost!


HUNCHES
Lost lost lost lost...


CAT
As it leads you down a path you have already crossed


HUNCHES
Crossed, crossed, crossed, crossed!


CAT
And you have a nasty feeling
That you should've had your lunch!
And you know you're havin' a hunch!


HUNCHES
You're havin', you're havin' a hunch!
You're havin' a hunch!


CAT
A hunch!


HUNCHES
You're havin', you're havin' a hunch!
You're havin' a hunch!


CAT
You're uncertain and confused
And you're scared, oh yes!
And you wonder how your thinks
Got you in this mess!
And there's no one to blame but you
Oh, the whole thing stinks!


CAT & HUNCHES
Then you think:


JOJO
I'm a thinker. And I think thinks!


CAT
Only you can find the way
Oh, you just can't stop!


JOJO
I will think and think until I drop!


CAT & HUNCHES
But your journey's just begun
And so on you go
To the left? To the right?

Oh, you just don't know...

Now you have a sudden hunch
You're alone in the world!
You're alone with thinks and hunches
All colored and curled!


CAT
Soon you're overwhelmed by hunches
That pester and pinch and punch


CAT & HUNCHES
And you know you're havin' a hunch


HUNCHES
You're havin' you're havin' a hunch
You're havin' a hunch...

And oh!
The places you'll go!


JOJO
I've got brains in my head
And feet in my shoes


HUNCHES
So steer yourself any direction you choose!

And oh, the places you'll go!
You're on your own
You know what you know.
Don't worry about
How fast or how slow
Be certain you step
With caution and tact
Cause life is a great big
Balancing act!
And will you succeed?
You will, yes, indeed!


JOJO
98 and three quarters percent guaranteed!


HUNCHES
Set your hunches free to wander
And follow them where they roam

And follow your hunch
Follow your hunch
Follow it...

Follow your hunch
Follow your hunch
Follow it...
Follow your hunch
Follow your hunch
Follow it


HUNCHES, OFFSTAGE VOICES
Follow it home...


ALL
Anything's possible!



All For You


GERTRUDE
Psst! Horton! Horton!


HORTON
What is it? Who's there?


GERTRUDE
It's me, Gertrude!


HORTON
Gertrude! How did you find us?


GERTRUDE
Well, it's a long story


GERTRUDE
I had a little trouble
'Cause I grew a little tail
Well, it wasn't really little
It was absolutely giant!
And it really was attractive
But you never even noticed,
So I felt a little silly even trying
Besides which the tail was too heavy
For normal flying


HORTON
Go on


GERTRUDE
Well, when the hunters caught you
I could see that I'd been foolish
'Cause I couldn't even help you
No, I couldn't even fly
And I got so very frightened
'Cause I knew I had to save you
No one else was gonna go to all the labor
It was all up to me,
All you had was your next door neighbor


BIRD GIRLS
So she ran to the doctor


GERTRUDE
The doctor named Dake


BIRD GIRLS
And she said


GERTRUDE
My tail has been a mistake!


BIRD GIRLS
And she said:


GERTRUDE
Dr. Dake, I've been foolish and vain

Pluck it out! Get it off!
I won't do it again!


BIRD GIRLS
Pluck! Pluck! Pluck!


GERTRUDE
Ouch, it hurt a lot!


BIRD GIRLS
Pluck! Pluck! Pluck!


GERTRUDE
Ooh, a tender spot


BIRD GIRLS
Pluck! Pluck! Pluck!


GERTRUDE
Just a one feather tail...


GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
But suddenly,
Gertrude could sail!


GERTRUDE
I sailed on a junk
And was practically sunk
For you
I trampled thorough the trees
Full of furious bees
For you
I slogged through a fog
And a choking smog
Down a soggy slope
Through a stinking bog
While my slip was gripped
By a vicious dog
For you


GERTRUDE
I galloped through the snow
In eleven below
For you.

Yes, even though I knew
I was catching the flu
For you
Achoo!
And then came the hole
Where I caught my sole
And I rolled downhill
Out of all control
'Till I broke my fall
On a jagged shoal
For you!

All for you
All for you
All for you
All for you
There's nothing that I
Wouldn't
And I couldn't
And I haven't gone through...

I sprained my little toe, but
I hobbled like so
For you
Then came the hit and run
But I staggered on one
For you
Now, here I am,
The worse for wear
And here you are
I'm here!
You're there!
And maybe now
You'll know I care
For you!

Oh, yes. And Horton, one more thing...

It took me seven weeks...
But I found your clover,
Too!


HORTON & BIRD GIRLS
Who!

Lock me up in a zoo...
But I won't desert my egg
And I will not abandon Who!
These Whos, sir,
Win or lose, sir,
Whether you believe or not,
They're here.
They live in fear.

You can do what you want with me, your honor,
And I won't question why but..

That we will
Boil boil boil boil boil...
In a hot steaming kettle of beezlenut oil!


HORTON
Boil it! Oh no!
No, that you can't do!
It's all full of persons!
They'll prove it to you!
Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor!
Oh, please, Mr. Mayor!
You've got to prove now

Don't give up! I believe in you all!
A person's a person, no matter how small!
And you very small persons will not have to die
If you make yourselves heard!
So, please!
Try!

HORTON, JOJO, MR. AND MRS. MAYOR
Jojo, think of something!


CAT
Now just for a moment, young Jojo looked grim
The fate of the Whos rested squarely on him!
But then came a think
A peculiar new word no one ever had heard!

JOJO
YOPP!



Finale


HORTON
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you see what I mean?
They made themselves heard
Though they still can't be seen!


GERTRUDE
They've proved they are persons, no matter how small.


HORTON
And their whole world was saved by the smallest of all!


SOUR KANGAROO
How true! Yes, how true! Said the sour kangaroo.
And, from now on, you know what I'm planning to do?
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
Yopp!


CAT
And Jojo was honored as "thinker non-stop"


MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR

CAT
Including this think...


HORTON
Oh my goodness, oh the egg!


JOJO, ALL
An elephant bird!


HORTON
Why he looks just like me.
Except for the wings.


GERTRUDE
And except for the voice,
'Cause that's how a bird sings.


HORTON
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!


GERTRUDE
I have wings.
Yes, I can fly.
You teach him earth
And I will teach him sky


HORTON
Just call my name


HORTON & GERTRUDE
And I'll see you through


HORTON
One small voice in the universe

One true friend in the universe

CAT
The adventures were over
The sky became pink
And then, guess what happened?
Well,
What do you think?



Oh, The Thinks You Can Think (Reprise)


ALL
Oh, the thinks you can think
Think and wonder and dream
Far and wide as you dare...
When your thinks have run dry
In the blink of an eye
There's another world there
If you open your mind
Oh, the thinks you will find
Lining up to get loose

Oh, the thinks you can think


BASSES & BARITONES

Green Eggs And Ham (Curtain Call)


ALL
I do not like green eggs and ham
I do not like them, Sam-I-am
Do not like them here or there
I do not like them anywhere

Not in a house, not with a mouse
Not here or there, not anywhere
I do not like green eggs and ham
I do not like them, Sam-I-am

Could you? Would you? With a goat?
Could you? Would you? On a boat?
Could you? Would you? In the rain?
Could you? Would you? On a train?

Not with a goat. Not on a boat.
Not in the rain. Not on a train.
Not in a house. Not with a mouse.
Oh, no!

Not in a box. Not with a fox.
Not in a tree. You let me be!
I do not like green eggs and ham!
I do not like them, Sam-I-am!
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!
I do not like green eggs and ham!
