Horton Hears A Who - Original Broadway Cast Recording

Who who wah dah
Who who who wah dah dah dah
Who who wah dah
Who who who wah dah

Who who wah dah
Who who who wah dah dah dah
Who who wah dah
Who who who wah dah

Who who wah dah
Who who who wah dah dah dah
Who who wah dah
Who who

Now think of an elephant lumbering through.

Who who wah dah
Who who who wah dah dah dah

Horton!

Yes, Horton!

Horton Hears a Who!

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

Splash!

Enjoying the jungle's great joys
When Horton the elephant

Horton the Elephant

Horton the elephant

Heard a small noise.

So Horton stopped splashing
He looked toward the sound

That's funny.

Thought Horton-

There's no one around.

Then he heard it again

Just a very faint yelp

As if some tiny person were calling for help

Help! Help!

I'll help you

Said Horton

But who are you, and where?

He looked and he looked.

He could see nothing there
But a small speck of dust
Blowing past...

Through the air.

I say! How confusing!
I've never heard tell
Of a small speck of dust that is 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-

Small... Who who wah dah
Who who who wah dah dah dah
Who who wah dah
Who who

So, gently, and using
The greatest of care,
The elephant stretched
His great trunk through the air,
And he lifted the dust speck
And carried it over
And placed it down,

Safe!

On a very soft clover.
