Sour Kangaroo:
Humpf! Humpfed a voice

'Twas the sour kangaroo
And the young kangaroo in her pouch said:

Young Kangaroo:
"Humpf!"

Sour Kangaroo:
Too!
Why, that speck is as small as the head of a pin
A person of that? Why, there never has been!

You're the biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
And I don't care who I tell
The biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool,

Young Kangaroo:
And I think so as well!

Sour Kangaroo:
Maybe I'm nasty, maybe I'm cruel
But you're the biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool

Horton:
It's true 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!

Wickersham #2:
Ha! Laughed a voice!

Wickersham #1 & 3

'Cause he's talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
