Mayzie In Palm Beach (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
When you're down in Palm Beach
With the breeze in your hair
And you don't have an egg
Or a nest or a care,
Tell yourself how lucky you are.
How lucky, how lucky you are.
When it's day after day
After beautiful day
To be lazing away
By the sea with Jose (Renee),
Tell yourself how lucky you are.
How lucky you are!
Still, I'm bored and I'm cranky and tired
Sitting day after day.
Who knew so much work was required
For nothing but play.
I need something diff'rent!
I crave something new!
Hey, maybe could you think of something diff'rent to do?!
A circus!
I love a show!
I think I'll go!
Good gracious! I've seen you before- now, let's see.
Why Mayzie, it's Horton! Remember? Its me!
I've sat on your egg now for fifty-one weeks!
I've sat here while people have paid to take peeks!
I've sat here through lightning and hail storms and snow!
Won't you take back your egg?
Gee. I really don't know...
Oh, wow, it's really late!
And gee, I've got a date!
And lots of places to be.
But it's so great to see you!
Look at you!
Who would ever guess?
Look at you!
Such a big success...
And it's all thanks to me!
Amayzing Horton!
That egg-sitting circus sensation!
Amayzing Horton!
Even I'm impressed!
Amayzing Horton!
While I was off taking vacation
You made your fortune
Up on Mayzie's nest...
I may be
Unreliable.
Fancy free.
Irresponsible.
Crazy me,
Always eager to fly.
But seeing you
Gives me true delight
Just this once
I've done something right.
The egg is all yours!
No, don't thank me,
I'll cry!
Good luck when it hatches.
Good luck...
And goodbye.
I meant what I said,
And I said what I meant
An elephant's faithful,
One hundred percent
With the breeze in your hair
And you don't have an egg
Or a nest or a care,
Tell yourself how lucky you are.
How lucky, how lucky you are.
When it's day after day
After beautiful day
To be lazing away
By the sea with Jose (Renee),
Tell yourself how lucky you are.
How lucky you are!
Still, I'm bored and I'm cranky and tired
Sitting day after day.
Who knew so much work was required
For nothing but play.
I need something diff'rent!
I crave something new!
Hey, maybe could you think of something diff'rent to do?!
