Here on Who

[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 of 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 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 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's 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
