Lyrics of The People Versus Horton The Elephant - Original Broadway Cast Recording by Kevin Chamberlin
This is the case of the people versus
Horton the elephant
Horton the elephant!
Judge Yertle the turtle presiding
Everyone rise!
Order! Order! Order in the court!
Order, order, order, order in the court!
The defendant is charged with talking to a speck
Disturbing the peace, and loitering ... on an egg
Your honor, this clover is Exhibit A
They′re Whos here
There are Whos here
Smaller than the eye can
See!
Biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
It's true, sir!
Here′s who's who, sir!
He's a who, and so is she
Biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
Order! Order! Order in the court!
Call to the stand the star witness versus
Horton the elephant
Raise your right hand and swear!
I swear
That he′s the biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
As I testified long ago
Biggest blame fool
Just a fool, fool, fool!
And a mother like me should know
Judgin′ him trunk to toe
You better think!
Think!
Think!
Think!
Oh please, throw him in the clink!
Talkin' to a speck
Talkin′ to a speck
To a speck of dust!
Objection!
Overruled!
Sittin' on an egg
Sittin′ on an egg
Sittin' on an egg!
Objection!
Overruled!
I meant what I said
And I said what I meant
An elephant′s faithful
One hundred percent!
You can throw me in jail
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
And I′m the only friend they′ve got
You can do what you want with me, Your Honor
And I won't question why
But Please save Who
The ti-niest planet in the sky
Based on the evidence, I have no choice
But to order the defendant, Horton the elephant
Remanded to the Nool asylum for the criminally insane
And as for the dust speck
Ooh! That dust speck!
And as for the dust speck
Ooh! That speck!
And as for your dust speck
That we will
Boil boil boil boil boil
In a hot steaming kettle of beezlenut oil!
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
That you really are there!
So ring every doorbell
And send out the word!
Make every Who holler!
Make every Who heard!
Boil, boil, boil, boil, boil!
Attention all Whos!
Attention all Whos!
We′ve got to be heard!
There's no time to lose!
So send up a shout
Make it loud! Make it clear!
We are here! We are here!
We are here! We are here!
Boil it! Boil it!
Boil it! Boil it!
Boil it! Boil it!
Boil it! Boil it!
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!
Boil it!
Boil it!
Boil it!
Boil it!
We are here!
Boil it!
We are here!
Boil it!
We are here!
Boil it!
We are here!
Boil it!
We are here!
Boil... We are here!
Jojo, think of something!
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!
Boil it! We are here!
Boil it! We are here!
Boil it! We are here!
Boil!... We are here!
YOPP!
