All For You (Verse) Lyrics by Stephen Flaherty & Lynn Ahrens

Seussical The Musical Jr.

0

[GERTRUDE McFUZZ] (singing)
I HAD A LITTLE TROUBE
'CAUSE I GREW A LITTLE TAIL.
WELL, IT WASN'T REALLY LITTLE,
IT WAS ABSOLUTELY GIANT
AND IT REALLY WAS ATTRACTIVE,
BUT YOU NEVER EVEN NOTICED,
SO I FELT A LITTLE SILLY EVEN TRYING,
BESIDES WHICH THE TAIL
WAS TOO HEAVY
FOR NORMAL FLYING.
[HORTON THE ELEPHANT] (spoken)
Go on.
[GERTRUDE] (singing)
WELL, WHEN THE HUNTERS CAUGHT YOU,
I COULD SEE THAT I'D BEEN FOOLISH
'CAUSE I COULDN'T EVEN HELP YOU.
NO, I COULDN'T EVEN FLY.
AND I GOT SO VERY FRIGHTENED
'CAUSE I KNEW I HAD TO SAVE YOU.
NO ONE ELSE WAS GONNA GO THROUGH ALL THE LABOR.
IT WAS ALL UP TO ME.
ALL YOU HAD WAS YOUR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR.
(The CAT as DR. DAKE enters.)
[GERTRUDE] (spoken)
So I ran to the Doctor.
[CAT IN THE HAT (as DOCTOR DAKE)]
The Doctor named Dake.
And she said:
[GERTRUDE]
"My tail has been a mistake!"
[CAT (as DOCTOR DAKE)]
And she said:
[GERTRUDE]
"Dr. Dake, I've been foolish and vain."
[GERTRUDE] (singing)
"PLUCK IT OUT! GET IT OFF!
I WON'T DO IT AGAIN!"
[CAT (as DOCTOR DAKE)]
PLUCK! PLUCK! PLUCK!
[GERTRUDE] (spoken)
Ouch, it hurt a lot!
[CAT (as DOCTOR DAKE)] (singing)
PLUCK! PLUCK! PLUCK!
[GERTRUDE] (spoken)
Ooh, a tender spot!
[CAT (as DOCTOR DAKE)] (singing)
PLUCK! PLUCK! PLUCK!
[GERTRUDE]
JUST A ONE-FEATHER TAIL...
[CAT (as DOCTOR DAKE), BIRD GIRLS #1, 2, 3, & GERTRUDE]
BUT SUDDENLY, GERTRUDE COULD SAIL!
