Notice Me, Horton Lyrics by Stephen Flaherty & Lynn Ahrens

Seussical The Musical Jr.

0

[GERTRUDE McFUZZ] (singing)
IT'S TAKEN ALL MY COURAGE TO APPROACH YOU,
NOT TO MENTION ALL MY STAMINA TO FOLLOW YOU
ACROSS THE HILLS AND DESERTS,
BUT I FEEL AS IF I’M READY
TO CONFESS TO YOU THE FEELINGS
THAT I'VE HIDDEN WITH GREAT DILIGENCE AND LABOR...
BEHIND THE FAÇADE
OF YOUR ODD LITTLE NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR...
MY EYES ARE TOO SMALL.
I HAVE VERY LARGE FEET.
AND I'M NOT VERY PROUD
OF MY PITIFUL TWEET.
BUT I’VE NOW GOT A TAIL
THAT IS SOMETHING TO SEE...
[HORTON THE ELEPHANT] (spoken)
One hundred and two. One hundred and three.
[GERTRUDE] (singing)
OH, NOTICE ME, HORTON,
FEATHER BY FEATHER.
THIS IS YOUR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR CALLING!
NOTICE ME, HORTON.
HORTON, TOGETHER
WE COULD BE GREAT...
OH, NOTICE ME, HORTON
PUT DOWN THE CLOVER!
THIS IS YOUR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR CALLING.
THERE'S A NEW LEAF
YOUR NEIGHBOR'S TURNED OVER—
[HORTON]
OVER AND OVER,
CLOVER BY CLOVER...
[GERTRUDE, & HORTON]
I WAS JUST A NO ONE ONLY YESTERDAY.
YOU SHOWED UP AND SHOWED ME SOMETHING MORE.
NOW I'VE BECOME A SOMEONE
WHO HAS SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN
AND TO BE THERE FOR...
(HORTON continues his search.)
[GERTRUDE]
(quietly determined)
I WILL NOT GIVE UP HOPE.
I WAS HOOKED FROM THE START
WHEN I NOTICED YOUR KIND
AND YOUR POWERFUL HEART.
SO NOTICE ME, HORTON...
[HORTON]
OH, THE WORLD WOULD BE SOMETHING NEW,
[GERTRUDE]
NOTICE ME, HORTON...
[HORTON]
IF THEY NOTICED A THING OR TWO...
[GERTRUDE]
NOTICE ME, HORTON
[GERTRUDE, & HORTON]
THE WAY I
NOTICE YOU.
(The clock ticks as HORTON continues his clover search. GERTRUDE finally exits in defeat. Time jumps to much later in his search.)
[HORTON] (spoken)
Two million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine. It's hopeless.
[MAYZIE LaBIRD]
You said it, kid.
(For a second, HORTON thinks he's heard the WHOS.)
[HORTON]
Who's there?
[MAYZIE]
It's me. Mayzie. Up here.
(HORTON sees MAYZIE sitting on a hugе, colorful egg, in a nest, in a tree.)
[HORTON]
Mayzie. Arе you on a nest?
[MAYZIE]
(defensive)
Yeah. You wanna make something of it?
[HORTON]
No, I just never thought I’d see you on a nest.
[MAYZIE]
Neither did I, Hort. Neither did I.
(The CAT as PIANIST rides out on a small, Seussian piano and plays a musical intro for MAYZIE.)
