All For You

Lyrics

[GERTRUDE McFUZZ] (singing) (dramatically) I SAILED ON A JUNK AND WAS PRACTIC'LLY 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 [GERTRUDE, (BIRD GIRLS #1, 2, & 3 (O.S.))] I GALLOPED THROUGH THE SNOW (OOH...) IN ELEVEN BELOW FOR YOU. (OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH) YES, EVEN THOUGH I KNEW (OOH...) I WAS CATCHING THE FLU FOR YOU (Achoo!) (Achoo!) AND THEN CAME THE HOLE (OOH) WHERE I CAUGHT MY SOLE (OOH) AND I ROLLED DOWNHILL (OOH) OUT OF ALL CONTROL (OOH) 'TILL I BROKE MY FALL (AHH-AH) ON A JAGGED... shoal! FOR YOU! (OOH, OOH, OOH, AHH!) ALL FOR YOU! (ALL FOR YOU!) ALL FOR YOU! (ALL FOR YOU!) THERE'S NOTHING THAT I WOULDN'T AND I COULDN'T AND I HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH (AHH, AAH, AAH, AAH!)... (With tremendous conviction and grit!) I SPRAINED MY LITTLE TOE, BUT (LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!) I HOBBLED LIKE SO (LA-LA-LA-LA!) FOR YOU (LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!). (OOH...OOH...OOH) THEN CAME THE HIT AND RUN (LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!) BUT I STAGGERED ON ONE (LA-LA-LA-LA!) (LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!) FOR YOU (OOH...)! NOW, HERE I AM (AHH-AH!), THE WORSE FOR WEAR, AND HERE YOU ARE (AHH-AH!). I'M HERE! YOU'RE THERE (AH!)! AND MAYBE NOW (AHH-AH!) YOU'LL KNOW I CARE (OOH!) FOR YOU (OOH...)! [GERTRUDE] (spoken) Oh, yes. And Horton, one more thing... [GERTRUDE] (singing) IT TOOK ME SEVEN WEEKS... BUT I FOUND YOUR CLOVER, TOO! (HORTON eagerly takes the clover from GERTRUDE.) [HORTON THE ELEPHANT, CAT IN THE HAT (as DOCTOR DAKE), & BIRD GIRLS] WHO! [HORTON] (spoken) Gertrude...I never noticed... you're...Amazing! [GERTRUDE] Aw, it was nothing. [HORTON] Hello, Whos, hello! Is anyone there? (HE holds the clover to his ear and gets an answer as MAYOR, & MRS. MAYOR appear.) [MAYOR, & MRS. MAYOR] Hello!! [HORTON] Oh, what a relief! Why, hello, Mr. Mayor! Is JoJo all right? (He listens again.) [JOJO] Hi, Horton! [HORTON] Oh, JoJo! Hello! Kid, now that I've got you, I won't let you go! I'll shelter and guard you, because aftеr all, [HORTON] (singing) A PERSON'S A PERSON NO MATTER HOW SMALL! [MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR, JOJO, HORTON, & GERTRUDE] A PERSON'S A PERSON NO MATTER HOW... (The WICKERSHAM BROTHERS and the SOUR KANGAROO/ YOUNG KANGAROO appear.) [WICKERSHAM BROTHER #1] (spokеn) Ha! [WICKERSHAM BROTHERS #2, & 3] Ha! [SOUR KANGAROO] Humph! [GERTRUDE] How did you get here?! [SOUR KANGAROO] (singing) YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM A SOUR KANGAROO! PALM BEACH TO PITTSBURGH TO KALAMAZOO. AND YOU—WITH YOUR EGG AND YOUR TREE AND YOUR NEST! I'M MAKING A SOUR CITIZEN'S ARREST! [HORTON] (spoken) Wait! Stop! Where are you taking me? [SOUR KANGAROO, & WICKERSHAMS] Well Horton, we're taking you back. You're gonna be goin' in style. For talkin' to a speck And sittin' on an egg [WICKERSHAM #3] (singing) YOU'RE GONNA BE... [WICKERSHAM #2] GONNA BE... [WICKERSHAM #1] GONNA BE... [SOUR KANGAROO] GONNA BE... [SOUR KANGAROO, & WICKERSHAMS] GONNA BE PUT... [SOUR KANGAROO, & WICKERSHAMS] (spoken) On trial! (Segue to a courtroom in the Jungle of Nool. The CITIZENS OF THE JUNGLE will serve as the Jury.
