Lyrics Horton Hears a Who (Broadway) by Stephen Flaherty

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

Help! Help!

So Horton stopped splashing
He looked towards 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? I think 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

[THE SOUR KANGAROO makes an impressive entrance.]
