All For You

Lyrics

[GERTRUDE] 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 is too heavy for normal flying [HORTON, spoken] Go on [GERTRUDE] 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 to all the labor It was all up to me All you had was your next door neighbor [BIRD GIRLS] So she ran to the doctor [GERTRUDE] The doctor named Dake [BIRD GIRLS] And she said [GERTRUDE] My tail has been a mistake [BIRD GIRLS] And she said [GERTRUDE] Doctor Dake, I've been foolish and vain Pluck it out Get it off I won't do it again [BIRD GIRLS] Pluck, pluck, pluck [GERTRUDE] Ouch, it hurt a lot [BIRD GIRLS] Pluck, pluck, pluck [GERTRUDE] Ooh, a tender spot [BIRD GIRLS] Pluck, pluck, pluck [GERTRUDE] Just a one-feather tail [GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS] But suddenly Gertrude could sail [GERTRUDE] I sailed on a junk, it 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 grip was slipped 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 [GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS] All for you (All for you) All for you (All for you) [GERTRUDE] There's nothing that I wouldn't, and I couldn't, and I haven't gone through I sprained my little toe and 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 yeah, and Horton? One more thing It took me seven weeks But I found your clover Too [BIRD GIRLS] Ooh!
