Chasing The Whos - Original Broadway Cast Recording

Up out of the jungle
Up into the sky.
Up over the mountains

Ten thousand feet high.

Then down from the mountains

And into the news-

Went Horton the elephant
Chasing the Whos!

Chasing the Whos!

Chasing the Whos!

This is the cat in the hat
Live from Skycam Five.
Folks, the Jungle of Nool
Is one heck of a drive.
We've got monkeys backed up
To the three-oh-two
I'd find alternate routes
If I were you!

Then over the desert,
The Desert of Dreze!
And into the forest
With thousands of trees
Past Sneetches on beaches

And sour kangaroos!

Went Horton the elephant
Chasing the Whos Chasing the Whos!
Chasing the...
Chasing the Whos! Chasing the Whos!

Still chasing your dust?
Why it's safe as can be.

We're monkeys to trust
Or don't you agree?

Well, just to be sure
We are handing it off

To a black-bottomed eagle named--

Vlad Vladikoff!!
AAAHHH!

No! Please! Wait!!

All that late afternoon
And far into the night
That black-bottomed bird
Flapped his wings in fast flight,
And he paid no attention
To Horton's loud call:

A person's a person
No matter how small!

We're Whos here! We're all Whos here!
Please don't let us fall!

Aaah!
We're Whos here. We could bruise here!
Helpless, weak and small.

On Horton traveled
And on that bird flew.
And, oh, there was trouble,

Trouble on Who!

That black-bottomed eagle was cruel as could be...

'Cause at six fifty-six, Vlad Vladikoff dropped it
The clover went tumbling and nobody stopped it!
And head over heels, one hundred miles down,
Fell the poor little Whos and their whole tiny town!

Aaah!
