Horton Sits On The Egg / Act I Finale - Original Broadway Cast Recording

Lyrics

Then carefully, tenderly,
 Gently he crept
 Up the trunk to the nest
 Where the little egg slept.
 Then Horton the elephant smiled:
 Now that's that.
 And he sat and he sat
 And he sat and he sat.
 He sat all that day
 And he kept the egg warm...
 And he sat all that night
 Through a terrible storm...
 Ooh... Ahh!
 I can't leave this nest.
 No, I meant what I said.
 This egg might get frozen
 But the Whos might be dead!
 I couldn't say no
 When I heard Mayzie beg
 Now I'm caught between a dust speck
 And an incubating egg!
 Help! Someone help! Hunters! Help!
 Horton! ... Horton!
 When your life's going wrong
 And you're wondering why
 When your tail is so long
 You're unable to fly!
 Tell yourself how lucky you are.
 Why rehash a nasty crash.
 Why call a hearse
 Or curse the universe!
 My philosophy is simply:
 Things could be worse!
 (Thunder!)
 So be happy you're here. Who...
 Think of life as a thrill! Who...
 And if worse comes to worse, Who...
 As we all know it will,
 Thank your lucky star
 You've gotten this far...
 Tell yourself
 How lucky you are... How lucky! How lucky!
 How lucky you...
 How lucky you are... How lucky! How lucky!
 How lucky you...
 How lucky you are... How lucky! How lucky!
 How lucky! How lucky!
 How lucky!
 How lucky you are! How lucky you are!
 Tell yourself
 How lucky you are... How lucky! How lucky!
 How lucky you...
 How lucky you are... How lucky! How lucky!
 How lucky you...
 How lucky you are!
