This is the case of the people versus

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 ti-niest 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! Oh no!

No, that you can't do!

It's all full of persons!

They'll prove it to you!

Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor!

Oh, 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!

Boil it! Boil it!

Boil it! 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!

Boil it!

We are here!

Boil it!

We are here!

Boil it!

We are here!

Boil it!

We are here!

Boil... 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!

Boil it! We are here!

Boil it! We are here!

Boil it! We are here!

Boil!... We are here!

YOPP!
