SIDE 1

JUNGLE CITIZEN 1

So, gently, and using the greatest of care

JUNGLE CITIZEN 2

The elephant stretched his great trunk through the air

JUNGLE CITIZEN 3

And he lifted the dust speck and carried it over

JUNGLE CITIZEN 4

And placed it down safely on a very soft clover.

(The SOUR KANGAROO and the YOUNG KANGAROO enter.)

SOUR KANGAROO

Humpf!... humpfed a voice. ’Twas the Sour Kangaroo. And the Young Kangaroo in her pouch said:

YOUNG KANGAROO

“Humpf!” too!

SOUR KANGAROO

Why, that speck is as small as the head of a pin. A person on that? Why, there never has been!

YOUNG KANGAROO

Humpf! 

SIDE 2

HORTON

Wait! Stop! Where are you taking me?

SOUR KANGAROO

Horton, we’re taking you back.

WICKERSHAM 1

You’re gonna be goin’ in style.

WICKERSHAM 2

For talkin’ to a speck—

WICKERSHAM 3

And sittin’ on an egg.

SOUR KANGAROO, WICKERSHAMS

You’re gonna be put on trial!
