Egg, Nest And Tree (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

Up out of the jungle
Up into the sky.
Up over the mountains

Ten thousand feet high.

Then down from the mountains

And down to the sea

Went Horton the elephant
Egg, nest and tree.

Egg, nest and tree!

Egg, nest and tree!

They loaded the wagon
Right onto a ship.
Out over the ocean
And ooh, what a trip!
Rolling and tossing
And sick as could be!

Blaaggghh!

Just a seasick elephant
Egg, nest and tree.

Nest and tree

Egg, nest and tree...

Nest and tree

After bobbing around for two weeks like a cork.

Egg, nest and tree!

They landed at last
In the town of New York.

Egg, nest and tree!

He was wet. he was tired.
And hungry and cold.

Egg, nest and tree!

Then, Horton was taken to auction...

Sold... to the man from the circus!

Sold ...
Sold ...
Sold ...
Egg, nest and tree.
