Lyrics

[GERTRUDE McFUZZ] (singing) I HAD A LITTLE TROUBE '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 WAS TOO HEAVY FOR NORMAL FLYING. [HORTON THE ELEPHANT] (spoken) Go on. [GERTRUDE] (singing) 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 THROUGH ALL THE LABOR. IT WAS ALL UP TO ME. ALL YOU HAD WAS YOUR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR. (The CAT as DR. DAKE enters.) [GERTRUDE] (spoken) So I ran to the Doctor. [CAT IN THE HAT (as DOCTOR DAKE)] The Doctor named Dake. And she said: [GERTRUDE] "My tail has been a mistake!" [CAT (as DOCTOR DAKE)] And she said: [GERTRUDE] "Dr. Dake, I've been foolish and vain." [GERTRUDE] (singing) "PLUCK IT OUT! GET IT OFF! I WON'T DO IT AGAIN!" [CAT (as DOCTOR DAKE)] PLUCK! PLUCK! PLUCK! [GERTRUDE] (spoken) Ouch, it hurt a lot! [CAT (as DOCTOR DAKE)] (singing) PLUCK! PLUCK! PLUCK! [GERTRUDE] (spoken) Ooh, a tender spot! [CAT (as DOCTOR DAKE)] (singing) PLUCK! PLUCK! PLUCK! [GERTRUDE] JUST A ONE-FEATHER TAIL... [CAT (as DOCTOR DAKE), BIRD GIRLS #1, 2, 3, & GERTRUDE] BUT SUDDENLY, GERTRUDE COULD SAIL!
