Notice Me, Horton
[Gertrude]
It's taken all my courage to approach you
Not to mention all my stamina to follow you
Across the hills and deserts
But I feel as if I'm ready
To confess to you the feelings
That I've hidden with great diligence and labor...
Behind the facade
Of your odd little next-door neighbor

My eyes are too small.
I have very large feet.
And I'm not very proud of my pitiful tweet
But I've now got a tail
That is something to see

[Horton]
One hundred and two. One hundred and three

[Gertrude]
Oh, notice me, Horton, feather by feather
This is your next-door neighbor calling
Notice me, Horton
Horton, together
We could be great
Oh, notice me, Horton
Put down the clover
This is your next door neighbor calling
There's a new leaf
Your neighbor's turned over
[Horton]
Over and over
Clover by clover

[Gertrude & Horton]
I was just a no one only yesterday
You showed up and showed me something more
Now I've become a someone
Who has someone to believe in
And to be there for

[Gertrude]
I will not give up hope
I was hooked from the start
When I noticed your kind
And your powerful heart
So notice me, Horton

[Horton]
Oh, the world would be something new

[Gertrude]
Notice me, Horton

[Horton]
If they noticed a thing or two
[Gertrude]
Notice me, Horton

[Gertrude, Horton]
The way I notice you

[Horton]
Two million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine
It's hopeless.

[Mayzie]
You said it kid

[Horton]
Who's there?

[Mayzie]
It's me, Mayzie, up here

[Horton]
Mayzie, are you on a nest?

[Mayzie]
Yeah. You wanna make something of it?

[Horton]
No, I just never thought I'd see you on a nest
[Mayzie]
Neither did I, Hort, neither did I.
