Lyrics

"Humph!"
Humphed a voice!
'Twas the Sour Kangaroo!
And the Young Kangaroo in her pouch said
"Humph!"
Too
Why that speck is as small as the head of a pin
A person on that? Why there never has been!
A-ha-ha-ha!
You're the biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
And I don't care who I tell!
Biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
And I think so as we-ell!
Maybe I'm nasty, maybe I'm cruel
But you're the biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool!
In truth, please believe me
I tell you sincerely
My ears are quite keen and I heard him quite clearly
I know there's a person down there
And what's more
Quite likely, there's two, even three, even four!
"Ha!" laughed a voice
"Ha!" laughed some others
"Ha ha ha!" laughed the Wickersham Brothers
"Oh he's the biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
And monkeys like us should know!
We've been out on a limb lookin' down on him
He's fat
He's dumb
He's slow!
Elephants ain't too swift as a rule
But he's the biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool!
'Cause he's talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
Talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jungle of Nool"
R-E-S-P-E-C-K!
Oh please, take that speck away!
Did ya hear, did ya hear
Did ya, did ya hear?
Through the jungle, the news quickly spread
Did ya hear, did ya hear
Did ya, did ya hear?
He talks to a dust speck
He's out of his head!
Our topic today is "Psychic Elephants Who Hear Voices"
What do you think, folks?
Is the elephant off his trunk?
Don't go away, we'll be right back with "Speck"
"Clover", "Dust", "Neighbour", "Who"
Stay tuned!
Biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
I'm Gertrude McFuzz, and I live right next door
He's never done anything crazy before!
Biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
He's always been friendly, and loyal, and kind
I just don't believe Horton's out of his mind!
Did ya hear, did ya hear
Did ya, did ya hear?
I'm Mayzie La Bird, and I live in that tree
Did ya hear, did ya hear
Did ya, did ya hear?
Enough about Horton
Let's talk about me!
Let's talk about, talk about, talk about
Talk about me!
Talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
Talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
I just have to save them
Because after all
A person's a person
No matter how small
A person's a person
No matter how-
Biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
In the jungle, anywhere
Such a big nervous wreck, he's protecting a speck
When he knows there's no one there
Acting as if he's holding a jewel
Ooh, somebody stuck a trunk on a mule
Biggest blame fool, in the Jungle of Nool, Nool, Nool
In the Jungle of Nool, Nool, Nool
In the Jungle of Nool, Nool, Nool
Nool, Nool
Na-ah-ah-ah-ahhh
