Lyrics Horton Hears A Hoo - Smash Hits Cover Band

Horton Hears A Hoo

On the 15th of May
In the Jungle of Nool
In the heat of the day
In the cool of the pool
He was splashing
Enjoying the jungle’s great joys
When Horton the Elephant
Horton the Elephant
Horton the Elephant
Heard a small noise
Help!
Help!
So Horton stops splashing
He looked toward the sound
That’s funny
Thought Horton
There’s no one around
Then he heard it again
Just a very faint yelp
As if some tiny person were calling for help
Help!
Help!
I’ll help you
Said Horton
But who are you and where?
He looked and he looked
He could see nothing there
But a small speck of dust blowing past
Through the air
I say!
How confusing
I’ve never heard tell of a small speck of dust that was able to yell
So, you know what I think
I think there must be someone on top of that small speck of dust
Some poor little person shaking with fear
That he’ll blow in the pool
He has no way to steer
He’s alone in the universe
I’ll just have to save him
Because after all
A person’s a person, no matter how small
A person’s a person no matter how small
So gently, and using
The greatest of care
The elephant stretched
His great trunk through the air
And he lifted the dust speck
And carried it over
And placed it down
Safe!
On a very soft clover
