Jungle Citizens:

Who who wah dah

Who who who wad dah dah dah

Who who wad 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



Horton:

Heard a small noise.



Mayor's Voice:

Help! Help!



Bird Girl #1:

So Horton stop 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's Voice:

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's 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--



Horton:                  Jungle Citizens:

Small                     Who who wah dah

Who who who wad dah dah dah

Who who wad dah

Who who



Bird Girls #1, 2, & 3:

So gently, and using

the greatest of care,

The elephant streched

his great trunk through the air,

He lifted the dust speck

And carried it over and placed it down,



Horton:

Safe!



Bird Girls:

On a very soft clover.
