Lyrics Biggering - The 88, The Lorax Singers

Biggering

Once-Ler:
At first I didn’t realize
I needed all this stuff
I had a little cottage
And that cottage was enough
A place where I could sit and knit
A place where I could sell my thneeds
But now I’ve had a little time
To reassess my needs
And I need a bigger office
I need a bigger chair
A bigger desk
A bigger staff
A bigger hat to wear!
Because I’m biggering!
(Yes, biggering!)
I’m figgering on biggering!
And biggering is triggering
More biggering!
Lorax:
Hey listen up meathead
I’m a say this once and I’m not gonna repeat it
Greed, see, it’s like a little pet, all right?
And the more and more and more that you go and feed it
The more hungry it’ll get
But, you know, you really can’t blame greed
Naw that’s stupid
You see, it’s got a worm inside
Oh yeah that’s right
That’s one that always needs to feed
And it is never satisfied
You get it?
But the more you try to find it
The more it likes to hide
Now listen
That is a nasty little worm
I like to call it pride!
See now that’s why you’re biggering!
Listen here idiot!
And figgering on biggering!
But that biggering’s just triggering more biggering!
Got that?
All right!
Once-Ler:
There is a principle of nature that most every creature knows
It’s called survival of the fittest, and this is how it goes
The animal that wins has got to claw and bite and kick and punch
The animal that doesn’t winds up someone else’s lunch
A company’s an animal that’s trying to survive
It’s struggling and fighting just to keep itself alive
I must keep on biggering!
I’m figgering on biggering!
Though biggering is triggering
More biggering!
I won’t stop biggering!
I’m figgering on biggering!
And biggering is triggering more biggering!
With the customers all buying
And the money multiplying
And the PR people lying
And the lawyers all denying
Who cares if some things are dying?
I don’t want to hear your crying
This is all so gratifying!
