After the Lorax confronts the Once-ler and asks to consider his actions, the Once-ler takes a moment to try and justify his wrong doings.
Once in a While Lyrics
[Once-ler]
Every once in a while
I sit down with myself asking
"Once-ler, why are you a Once-ler?"
And I cringe, I don't smile
As I sit there on trial, asking
"Aren't you ashamed? You old Once-ler?
You 'ought to be locked in a hoosgow, you should
The things that you do are completely ungood!"
Yeah, but if I didn't do them
Then someone else would!
"That's a very good point
Mister Once-ler."
