Dr. Seuss' The Lorax Soundtrack Lyrics






Ester Dean - Let It Grow (Celebrate the World)

Plant a seed inside the Earth
Just one way to know its worth
When we celebrate the world
Celebrate the world
Come on and
Celebrate the world
Celebrate the world

All you gotta do
All you gotta do is live your life
Be true, live your life, be true and
Never be afraid, never be afraid to grow, grow

It don't matter how you got it
It's yours now, don't you hide it
Let it grow, let it grow
Let the love inside you show it
Just one way to know you're worth it
Let it grow, let it grow

Just believe and you're almost there
Use your heart to show you care
Come on and celebrate the world
Celebrate the world
Come on and celebrate the world
Yeah, yeah, yeah

All you gotta do
All you gotta do is live your life
Be true, live your life, be true and
Never be afraid, never be afraid to grow, grow

It don't matter how you got it
It's yours now, don't you hide it
Let it grow, let it grow
Let the love inside you show it
Just one way to know you're worth it
Let it grow, let it grow

It's your turn now
To show your world now
Open up your heart and let it grow
It's your turn now
To show your world now
Open up your heart and let it grow

It don't matter how you got it
It's yours now, don't you hide it
Let it grow, let it grow
Let the love inside you show it
Just one way to know you're worth it
Let it grow, let it grow

John Powell - Thneedville

[ Featuring Cinco Paul ]

Goooooood Morning!
In Thneedville, It's a brand new dawn.
With brand new cars, and houses and lawns.
Here we've got-all-that-we-need-ville.
In Thneedville, we manufacture our trees.
Each one is made in factories.
And uses 96 batteries!
In Thneedville, the air is not so clean.
So we buy it fresh.
IT COMES OUT THIS MACHINE!
It's Satisfactions-guaranteed-ville!
In Thneedville, we don't want to kno-OH!
Where the smog and trash, and chemicals go.
I JUST WENT SWIMMING, AND NOW I GLOW!
In Thneedville we have fun year-round;
We surf and snowboard right in town.
We thank the Lord for all we've got,
Including this brand new parking lot!
PARKING LOT! Paaaarking lot!
Oh, look it's-
Aloysous O'Hare!
(Aloysius O'Hare!)
The man who found a way to sell air.
And became a zillionaire!
Everyone round here works for me.
I sell them something they can get for free.
We live in perfect harmony!
IN THNEEDVILLE!
IN THNEEDVILLE!
(hip hooray, hip hooray, hip hip hooray!)
In Thneedville, we love living this way.
It's like living in PARADISE!
IT'S PERFECT!
And that's how it will stay!
(oh yeah
We Love-The-Life-We-Lead-Ville,
Destined-To-Succeed-Ville,
We-Are-All-Agreed-Ville!
Thhhhh-THNEEDVILLE!

Ed Helms - This Is The Place

This is it! This is the place!
It's bound to have just what I need
I wanna hold it all in one big embrace
But first...
Let's find the stuff to make my thneed

Na, na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na, na na na
Now you!
Na, na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na, na na na

Humming Fish, I love your hums
I've got a feeling we'll be chums
This pond is perfect! There's no doubt
Excuse me while I rip these out!

Na, na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na, na na na
Na, na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na, na na na
Na na na na, na na, na na na

Swami-Swans, you fly so high
Everywhere I look, you fill the sky
I love your graceful neck, and your noble breast
But the thing that I love most, just might be your nest
Thank you!

Na, na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na, na na na
Na, na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na, na na na

Hey there, Barbaloot!
You look so cute
In your Barbaloot suit
Your fur's so soft, hey you know what
I'm gonna shave a little bit off your Barbaloot butt

This is it! These truffula trees
All my life I've searched for trees, such trees as these
The touch of their tufts is softer than silk
And they have the sweet smell of butterfly milk

Oh everybody now!
Na, na, na na na na
Na na na na, na, nah, neh n-eh?
Eheh, guys? C'mon, where's my back-up chorus?
It's not happening? It's not happening.
You guys don't feel like singing...

Everybody needs a thneed,
A fine thing that all people-
You know what we need?! For you to stop!

Ed Helms - How Bad Can I Be?

How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doin' what comes naturally
How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just following my destiny
How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doin' what comes naturally
How ba-a-a-ad can I be? How bad can I possibly be?

Well, there's a principal of nature (principal of nature)
That almost every creature knows
Called survival of the fittest (survival of the fittest)
And check it this is how it goes
The animal that is has got to scratch and bite and claw and bite and punch
And the animal that doesn't (well the animal that doesn't) winds up
Someone else's lu-lu-lu-lu-unch! (I'm just saying')

How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doin' what comes naturally
How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just following my destiny
How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doin' what comes naturally
How ba-a-a-ad can I be? How bad can I possibly be?

Well, there's a principal of business (principal of business)
And everybody knows his sound
He says the people with the money (people with the money)
Makes the money-lovin' world go 'round!
So I bigger in my company, I bigger in my factory, I bigger in my corporate size!
Everybody out there take care if yours and me?
I'll take care of mine, mine, mine, mine, mine! (Shake that bottom line!)
Let me hear you say 'smogulous smoke' (smogulous smoke)
Schloppity schlop (schloppity schlop)
Complain all you want, it's never ever, ever, ever gonna stop

Come on how bad can I possibly be?

How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just building the economy
How ba-a-a-ad can I be? Just look at me pettin' this puppy
How ba-a-a-ad can I be? A portion of proceeds goes to charity!
How ba-a-a-ad can I be? How bad can I possibly be? Let's see!

(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) All the customers are flying!
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) All the money's multiplying!
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) And the PR people are lying!
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) And the lawyers are denying!
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) Who cares if a few trees are dying?
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) This is oh so gratifying!

How bad? How bad can this possibly be?

Fletcher Sheridan - Let It Grow

You don't know me, but my name's Cy,
I'm just the O'Hare delivery guy.
But it seems like trees might be worth a try,
So I say, let it grow.

My name is Dan - and my name's Rose.
Our son Wesley kinda glows
And that's not good, so we suppose
We should let it grow.

Let it grow, let it grow,
You can't reap what you don't sow!
Plant the seed inside the earth,
Just one way to know its worth.
Let's celebrate the world's rebirth,
We say let it grow.

My name's Marie,
And I am three!
I would really like to see a tree,
La la la la la lala lee,
I say let it grow.

I'm Grammy Norma,
I'm old and I've got gray hair,
But I remember when trees were everywhere,
And no one had to pay for air!
So I say let it grow!

Let it grow, let it grow,
Like it did so long ago.
It is just one tiny seed,
But it's all we really need,
It's time to change the life we lead,
Time to let it grow.

My name's O'Hare, I'm one of you.
I live here in Thneedville, too.
The things you say just might be true.
It could be time to start anew
And maybe change my point of view!
Nah!

I say let it die!
Let it die, let it die,
Let it shrivel up and -
Come on, who's with me?

Nobody.
You greedy dirtbag!

Let it grow, let it grow,
Let the love inside you show!
Plant the seed inside the earth,
Just one way to know its worth!
Let's celebrate the world's rebirth,
We say let it grow!

Let it grow, let it grow
You can't reap what you don't sow
It's just one tiny seed
But it's all we really need
It's time to banish all your greed
Imagine Thneedville flowered and treed
Let this be our solemn creed

We say let it grow
In Thneedville we say let it grow
It's a brand new dawn
We say let it grow
In Thneedville we say let it grow
It's a brand new dawn

Jenny Slate - Let It Grow Gospel Ending

Yeah, (let it grow) let it grow (let it grow)
Oh, let that love inside you show (let it grow)
Do it, it's fun! (Let it grow)
Plant that seed inside the earth (let it grow, let it grow)
And that's how you'll know (let it grow)
What each one of us is worth (let it grow)
It's beautiful! (Let, let, let, let, let it grow)

Let it grow

Let it grow (let, let, let, let, let it grow)
Come on, everybody
Just say yeah, yeah (let it, let it, let it grow)
Don't say no

Yeah, yeah, woo!

Wow, I can't believe I could do that! (it)

Ed Helms - The Once-ler's Traveling Madness

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Bup budupadup ooh
Going off to make a thneed

I've got a cramp in my back
And another cramp in my right rump cheek

You and I will have separate grandchildren
And we will say to them
Oh god look I'm playing my guitar upside down

Don't look at me like that!
Just something to do
And oh wait I forgot the words
Na na naa na naa

You ever think really hard about boredom?
Is that annoying?
Is that annoying?
Is this annoying?

Look it's some circling birds
I bet you they're going to eat our corpses
And then the worms will come out of the ground
And then some other little critter's gonna come and
Make furniture out of our bones.
And sit on it
And have lovely dinners

And this whole thing will be a disaster
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na
Haa na na na na na
Na na na na

Randy Crenshaw - I Love Nature

Humming Fish!
Swomee Swans!
Aha, Bar-ba-loots!
Er... That thing
Oh my gosh, that's it!
It's just what I need!
These trees... They're just what I need for my Thneed!
The touch of these tufts is much softer than silk
They have the sweet smell of fresh Butterfly Milk!
Nature is such a wonderful thing!
It makes me want to sing!
...Really?
Zip it
I love Nature so dang much!
All the animals, and plants! And such
So much to see, so much to hear, so much to touch!
I love Nature so dang much!
Oh come and hop up here on my knee
Let's hope you don't carry a disease
Wow, you really smell like cheese!
Summer, Winter, Fall, and Spring
A song of harmony we sing
Except that thing that ate the other thing
I love Nature so dang much!
Yes! I want to live out in the wild
And raise a chipmunk as my child
And spend my evenings eating moss
With spider webs for dental floss
And learn to swing from vine to vine
And teach a Bar-ba-loot to sign
And then get rid of all my clothes
And frolick with some Buffalos!
Yee haw!
(I love Nature so much)
So dang much!
(I love Nature so)
Oh dang-a-lang-a-luch
(I love Nature so much)
Ding, dong, dang!
(I love Nature so much)
I love it!
I love it!
(So dang much
So dang, dang, dang, dang-y, dang, dang
(So dang, dang, dang, dang)
(Dang, dang, dang, dang)
I love it!
(dang, dang, dang, dang)
I love it so
(So dang much!)
Dang
Much!!

Keith Slettedahl - You Need A Thneed

Everybody needs a Thneed
A fine thing that all people need
The Thneed is good
The Thneed is great
And it's just $3.98

Everybody needs a Thneed
It's revolutionary guaranteed!
The Thneed is new
The Thneed is nice
And did you see that price?

Since the glorious dawn of man
There's never been a thing to do what this thing can
So listen carefully To all the wondrous things a Thneed can be

It's a sock, it's a suit
Boxing glove, parachute
A butterfly net, reusable diaper
An exercise belt, a runny nose wiper
A slingshot, a muzzle, a jump rope, a hat
A colorful sweater you put on your cat
Nothing else in this world can do that
Old or young, tall or short, thin or fat
Republican, independent, libertarian or democrat

Fletcher Sheridan - Nobody Needs A Thneed

Hey!
Nobody needs a Thneed
A stupid thing no one will ever need
The Thneed is dumb

Who's the idiot who came up with that name?
Oh, right, that was me

Nobody needs a Thneed
A stupid thing no one will ever need
The Thneed is dumb

Who's the idiot who came up with that name?

Nobody needs a Thneed
(Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bring it now.)
You don't need it. I don't need it

That's a double paradiddle
That's a triple paradiddle
Flap, flap, fiddley flap, fiddley bop
Look at me play. Look at me play

Gabriel Mann - Biggering

Onceler: At first I didn't realize
I needed all this stuff,
I had a little cottage,
And that cottage was enough.

A place where I could sit and knit,
A place where I could sell my Thneeds,
But now I've had a little time
To re-assess my needs.

And I need a bigger office,
I need a bigger chair.
A bigger desk, a bigger staff,
A bigger hat to wear.

Because I'm biggering,
I'm figuring on biggering,
And biggering is triggering
More biggering.

Lorax: Ey listen up, meathead.
I'm going to say this once, and I'm not gonna repeat it.
Greed...it's like a little pet, alright?
And the more and more and more you feed it,
The more hungry it'll get!
But...no, you can't really blame greed
No, that's stupid.
You see, it's gotta worm inside.
Yeah, that's right.
It's one that always needs to feed,
And it's never satisfied.
You get it?
And the more you try to find it,
The more it likes to hide. Okay?
Now listen--that is NASTY little worm.
And I like to call it "pride."
Now that's why you're biggering!
Listen here, idiot!
I"m sick of all your biggering!
Because all that biggering is triggering more biggering!
Got that? Alright!

Onceler: There is a principle of nature,
That most every creature knows.
It's called survival of the fittest,
And this is how it goes.
The animal that wins has got to
Claw and bite and kick and punch.
And the animal that doesn't,
Winds up someone else's lunch.

A company's an animal,
That's trying to survive.
Struggling, and fighting,
Just to keep itself alive.
I must keep biggering
I'm figuring on biggering,
Though biggering is triggering
More biggering.

I won't stop!
Biggering,
I'm figuring on biggering,
And biggering is triggering more biggering.
If the customers are buying,
And the money multiplying
And the PR people lying
And the lawyers are denying,
Who cares if some things are dying?
I don't want to hear your crying
This is all so gratifying
