Horton Hears A Who Lyrics - Singles - The Hit Crew

On the fifteenth 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 stopped 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 is able to yell 

So you know what I think? I think that there must 

Be someone on top of that small speck of dust" 

"Some poor little person who's 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
