Egg, Nest and Tree
[SOUR KANGAROO]
Up out of the jungle
Up into the sky
Up over the mountains

[BIRD GIRLS, WICKERSHAMS, & SOUR KANGAROO]
Ten thousand feet high

[SOUR KANGAROO & BIRD GIRLS]
Then down from the mountains

[BIRD GIRLS & WICKERSHAMS, & SOUR KANGAROO
And down to the sea

[ALL (EXCEPT HORTON)]
Went Horton the elephant
Egg, nest, and tree

[WOMEN]
Egg, nest, and tree

[MEN]
Egg, nest, and tree

[ALL (EXCEPT HORTON)]
They loaded the wagon
Right onto a ship
Out over the ocean
And ooh, what a trip
Rolling and tossing
And sick as could be
[HORTON]
Blaaggghh

[ALL]
Just a seasick elephant
Egg, nest, and tree

[MEN]
Nest and tree

[ALL]
Egg, nest, and tree

[MEN]
Nest and tree

[BIRD GIRL #1]
After bobbing around for two weeks like a cork

[ALL (EXCEPT HORTON)]
Egg, nest, and tree

[BIRD GIRL #2]
They landed at last
In the town of New York
[ALL (EXCEPT CAT IN THE HAT & HORTON)]
Egg, nest, and tree

[BIRD GIRL #3]
He was wet. he was tired
And hungry and cold

[ALL (EXCEPT HORTON)]
Egg, nest, and tree

[BIRD GIRLS]
Then, Horton was taken to auction

[CAT, AS AUCTIONEER]
And sold...to the man from the circus

[ALL]
Sold, sold, sold (Horton)
Egg, nest, and tree
