Everybody Needs a Thneed Lyrics by Dr. Seuss

The Lorax (1972)

1972

Off the old assembly line
Comes another Thneed
Answering humanity's each and every need
Everybody do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do need a Thneed
It isn't just a panty vest
Use it for a hammock when you need rest
It's a toothbrush holder for your weekend guest
Your canary will love it, It's a lovely nest
Try it in soup, it adds great zest
It'll cure those back-ache pains in your chest
Everybody do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do need a Thneed
You'll be amazed, you'll be nonplussed
It tastes like bread without the crust
Grooms your hair when it gets must
Rids your home of dismal dust
It's a natural, it's a must
Eliminates carburetor rust
Everybody do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do need a Thneed
It's super-duper-hooper-hyper
Makes a perfect windshield wiper
Foolproof trap to catch the viper
Rebuild the brakes from any griper
Papa smokes them in his piper
Baby says: "Boy, what a diaper"
Everybody do-do-do-do-do-do
Everybody do-do-do-do-do-do
Everybody do-do-do-do need a Thneed
