All For You - Original Broadway Cast Recording

I had a little trouble cause I grew a little tail.
Well, it wasn't really little it was absolutely giant.
And it really was attractive but you never even noticed so I felt a little silly even trying.
Besides which the tail was too heavy for normal flying.
Well, when the hunters caught you I could see that I'd been foolish, cause, I couldn't even help you, no I couldn't even fly.
And I got so very frightened cause I knew I had to save you.
No-one else was gonna go through all the labor.
It was all up to me, all you had was your next door neighbor.

So she ran to the doctor.
The doctor named Dake.
And she said:
My tail has been a mistake!
And she said:
Doctor Dake I've been foolish and vain.
Pluck it out!
Get it off!
I won't do it again!

Pluck, pluck, pluck!
Ouch, it hurt a lot!
Pluck, pluck, pluck!
Ooh, a tender spot!
Pluck, pluck, pluck!
Just a one feather tail.
But suddenly, Gertrude could sail!

I sailed on a junk and was practically sunk, for you.
I trampled through the trees full of furious bees, for you.
I slogged through a fog and a choking smog,
down a soggy slope through a stinking bog
while my slip was gripped by a vicious dog, for you.
I galloped through the snow in eleven below, for you.
Yes, even though I knew I was catching the flu, for you.
(Achoo!)
And then came the hole where I caught my sole and I rolled downhill out of all control,
til I broke my fall on a jagged shoal, for you!
All for you.
All for you.
There is nothing that I wouldn't,
and I couldn't,
and I haven't gone through...

I sprained my little toe,
but I hobbled like so, for you.
Then came the hit and run,
but I staggered on one, for you.

Now here I am,
the worse for wear.
And here you are,
I'm here! You're there!
And maybe now, you'll know I care
For you!

Oh, yes. And Horton?
One more thing...

It took me seven weeks,
But I found your clover too.
