Horton the elephant
Horton the elephant
Judge Yertle the turtle presiding
Everyone rise

Order, order, order in the court
Order, order, order, order in the court

The defendant is charged with talking to a speck
Disturbing the peace and loitering on an egg
Your honor, this clover is Exhibit A

They're Whos here
There are Whos here
Smaller than the eye can
See, biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool

It's true, sir
Here's who's who, sir
He's a who and so is she
Biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
Order, order, order in the court

Call to the stand the star witness versus
Horton the elephant
Raise your right hand and swear

I swear
That he's the biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
As I testified long ago

Biggest blame fool
Just a fool, fool, fool
And a mother like me should know

Judgin' him trunk to toe
You better think
Think
Think
Think
Oh please, throw him in the clink

Talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
Objection
Overruled

Sittin' on an egg
Sittin' on an egg
Sittin' on an egg
Objection
Overruled

I meant what I said
And I said what I meant
An elephant's faithful
One hundred percent

You can throw me in jail
Lock me up in a zoo
But I won't desert my egg
And I will not abandon Who

These Whos, sir, win or lose, sir
Whether you believe or not
They're here, they live in fear
And I'm the only friend they've got

You can do what you want with me, Your Honor
And I won't question why
But please save Who
The tiniest planet in the sky

Based on the evidence
I have no choice
But to order the defendant
Horton, the elephant
Remanded to the Nool asylum
For the criminally insane

And as for the dust speck
Ooh, that dust speck
And as for the dust speck
Ooh, that speck
And as for your dust speck

That we will, boil, boil, boil, boil, boil
In a hot steaming kettle of beezlenut oil

Boil it, no, that you can't do
It's all full of persons
They'll prove it to you
Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor
Please, Mr. Mayor
You've got to prove now
That you really are there

So ring every doorbell
And send out the word
Make every Who holler
Make every Who heard

Boil, boil, boil, boil, boil

Attention all Whos
Attention all Whos
We've got to be heard
There's no time to lose

So send up a shout
Make it loud, make it clear
We are here, we are here
We are here, we are here

Boil it, boil it
Boil it, boil it
Better boil it, yeah, boil it
You better boil it, oh yeah, boil it

Don't give up, I believe in you all
A person's a person, no matter how small
And you very small persons will not have to die
If you make yourselves heard, so, please try

Boil it, boil it
Boil it, boil it
We are here
We are here
We are here
We are here

We are here
We are here
We are here
We are here

Jojo, think of something

Now just for a moment, young Jojo looked grim
The fate of the Whos rested squarely on him
But then came a think
A peculiar new word no one ever had heard

We are here
We are here
We are here
We are here
