HORTON
There's a faraway land
So the stories all tell
Somewhere beyond the horizon.
If we can find it
Then all will be well,
Troubles there are few,
Someday, we'll go to...
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
HORTON & CIRCUS ANIMALS
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
HORTON
I've lost my poor Whos
And we've traveled so far.
Oh, JoJo, forgive me
Wherever you are.
(We see JOJO at military school, writing a letter. MR. and MRS.
MAYOR are home, reading his letter.)
JOJO
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm thinking of you.
And wishing we all were in Solla Sollew
MAYOR
They say breezes are warm there
HORTON
And people are kind.
JOJO, HORTON
Maybe it's something like heaven.
JOJO, MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR, HORTON
I close my eyes
And I see in my mind
Skies of bluest blue
CIRCUS ANIMALS, ALL
Solla Sollew
HORTON
I've had so much trouble JOJO, MAYOR,
Finding my way there. MRS. MAYOR &
When I get close, CIRCUS ANIMALS
It disappears. Solla Sollew
If we can get there,
We're gonna stay there
If it takes us miles,
JOJO, MAYOR AND MRS. MAYOR
If it takes us miles
HORTON
If it takes us years.
High on a mountain
Or lost on the sea,
HORTON & JOJO
Sooner or later, I'll find it
MAYOR
I have a picture
Of how it will be
MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR
On the day I do
HORTON & MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR & JOJO
Troubles will be through
And I'll be home with you.
ALL
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
HORTON
I'll be home...
With you
ALL (BUT HORTON)
Solla Sollew.

HORTON
And now, little egg,
You're alone in the universe too.
Who would have thought you'd be left up to me,
A fool of an elephant up in a tree,
Well, this time, I swear I'll do better than try
I'll protect you from harm. Yes, I'll do it or die!
So rest now, young egg,
And I'll sing you a lullaby...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(Reprise)
HORTON
Do you hear what I hear? Do you see what I mean?
They made themselves heard though they still can't he seen!
GERTRUDE
They've proved they are persons, no matter how small.
HORTON
And their whole world was saved by the small- est of all!
(THE SOUR KANGAROO has a change of heart and is slightly embarrassed)
SOUR KANGAROO
How true! Yes, how true! Said the sour kangaroo.
And, from now on, you know what I'm planning to do?
(with genuine sweetness)
From now on, I'm going to protect them with you!
And the young kangaroo in her pouch said...
SMALL KANGAROO
Me, too!
CAT
Their troubles were ended, they hailed his great..
ALL WHOS, CAT
Yopp!
CAT
And Jojo was honored as "Thinker non-stop".
(The WHOS carry him on their shoulders.)
MR. AND MRS. MAYOR
Now all Jojo's thinks would forever be heard.
CAT
Including this think...
(We hear the sound of a giant egg cracking.
GERTRUDE dashes over to HORTON and they watch as THE EGG hatches.
We can only imagine what they're seeing by the wonder and joy on their faces.)
JOJO, ALL (hushed wonder and amazement)
An elephant bird!
HORTON (very moved)
Why he looks just like me. Except for the wings.
GERTRUDE
And except for the voice, 'cause that's how a bird sings.
HORTON (slow mounting panic)
Gertrude, what will I do? I'm slow and I'm fat
All I know is the earth. He'll need much more than that!
(A beat.)
GERTRUDE (very tentative, very gentle)
I have wings.
Yes, I can fly.
You teach him earth
And I will teach him sky
HORTON
Just call my name
BOTH
And I'll see you through.
HORTON
One small voice in the universe
GERTRUDE
One true friend in the universe
BOTH -
Who believes in you.
(HORTON and GERTRUDE come together over the cradle,
looking down at their little elephant bird.)
CAT
The adventures were over.
The sky became...
JOJO
Pink.
CAT
And then, guess what happened?
JOJO (to audience)
Well, what do you think?!

HORTON
I've been guarding this clover
For over a week,
Getting laughed at
For thinking a dust speck can speak.
Well, let them all laugh
I'll try not to mind,
For I have found something
That they'll never find!
There are secrets on a leaf,
In the water, in the air,
Hidden planets, tiny worlds,
All invisible!
Not a person seems to know.
Not a person seems to care.
There is no one who believes a thing I say...
Well, I'm fairly certain
At one time or other,
Great thinkers all feel this way!
I'm alone in the universe.
So alone in the universe.
I've found magic but they don't see it
They all call me a lunatic.
Ok, call me a lunatic.
If I stand on my own, so be it.
'Cause I have wings.
Yes, I can fly
Around the moon
And far beyond the sky
And one day soon
I know there you'll be
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me...
JOJO HORTON
I'm alone in the universe.
So alone in the universe.
My own planets and stars
Are glowing.
Alone in the universe
No one notices anything.
Not one person is listening.
They don't have any way of knowing.
Nobody knows that
I have wings
I have wings.
Yes, I can fly
I can fly
Around the moon
And far
Beyond the sky Beyond the sky
BOTH
Well someday soon
You will hear my plea
HORTON
One small voice in the universe
JOJO
One true friend in the universe
BOTH
Please believe in me ...
HORTON (softly, to his clover)
Hello...hello?
JOJO (startled)
Hello?
HORTON (startled as well)
Who's there?
JOJO
It's me, Jojo. The Mayor's son.
HORTON
I'm Horton. The Elephant
JOJO
Are you real, or are you a very large think?
HORTON
Oh, I'm real, all right. I would state that in ink.
JOJO
In my thinks, I imagine a lot of strange things
And I go to strange places, as if I had wings!
I love a good think!
HORTON
Well, for me that goes double.
JOJO
Sometimes my thinks are what get me in trouble.
HORTON
When you think, do you dream?
JOJO
In bright colors!
HORTON
Me too. And I go to strange places
Like Solla Sollew!
JOJO
When you think, do you think
You could fly to the stars?
HORTON
Little friend, no one else
Could have thinks such as ours!
(HORTON and JOJO imagine they are flying through the starry universe.)
HORTON JOJO
Yes, I have wings.
I have wings
And I can fly
I can fly ...
Around the moon
And far beyond the sky Beyond the sky ...
You called my name
And you set me free-
One small voice in the universe
JOJO
One true friend in the universe
BOTH
Who believes in me.
HORTON
Goodnight Jojo.
JOJO
Goodnight Horton. See you in Solla Sollew!
(HORTON exits and JOJO goes to sleep. Suddenly,
THE CAT pops up behind JOJO's bed and shakes him awake.)
CAT
Wake up! The scene's over!
There's more to be heard.
There goes our hero. Who enters?
JOJO
The bird!
(GERTRUDE McFUZZ enters, carrying a small guitar.)
GERTRUDE
"Love Song for Horton" Four Hundred and Thirty-Seven.
(GERTRUDE begins to play and sing.)
