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 Skycam 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 (except Horton & "Vocally low" men)]
Went Horton the elephant
Chasing the Whos Chasing the Whos!
Chasing the...
Chasing the Whos! 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!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[HORTON]
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... AAAHHH!
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.

[CITIZENS OF THE JUNGLE, WHOS]
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
And head over heels, one hundred miles down,
Fell the poor little Whos and their whole tiny town!

[WHOS]
Aaah!
