[WICKERSHAM BROTHERS] (spoken)
Yeah!

[WICKERSHAM #1] (singing)
THERE'S A RUSTLE IN THE BUSHES.
THERE'S A TREMBLE IN THE TREES
HEAR IT LIKE A WHISPER
SMELL IT ON THE SUMMER BREEZE.

[WICKERSHAMS]
MM-HMM!

[WICKERSHAM #1, (WICKERSHAMS #2, & 3)]
SOMETHIN' BIG IS GETTING NEARER (OOH...MM-HMM!)
SOMETHIN' BIG IS COMIN' THROUGH (OOH...MM-HMM!)
GOT SOME MONKEY BUSINESS (AH...)

[WICKERSHAMS]
THAT'S WHAT WE INTEND TO DO...
COME ON!
I WANNA MONKEY,
MONKEY AROUND
COME ON!
I GOTTA MONKEY
MONKEY AROUND
COME ON!
WE'RE GONNA MONKEY
OOH, WE'RE GONNA MONKEY AROUND! OOH!
(HORTON enters, clutching his clover.)

[HORTON] (spoken)
The Wickershams. Uh, hello.

(The WICKERSHAM BROTHERS circle HORTON.)

[WICKERSHAM #2, (WICKERSHAMS #1, & 3)] (singing)
WELL, IT'S BIGGER THAN A BREADBOX (MM-HMM!)!

[WICKERSHAM #3, (WICKERSHAMS #1, & 2)]
HEY, IT'S WIDER THAN A WHALE (MM-HMM!)!

[WICKERSHAM #1]
PEANUT BUTTER BREATH

[WICKERSHAMS]
AND SCARED TO DEATH
FROM HEAD TO TAIL!

[WICKERSHAM #1] (spoken)
So you're still talking to dust. Oh, that's hot!

[WICKERSHAM #2]
A dust speck that's all full of Whos who are not!
[WICKERSHAM #3]
There aren't any Whos. Why, I don't hear a sound!

[WICKERSHAMS] (singing)
COME ON! WE GOTTA MONKEY...MONKEY AROUND!

(The WICKERSHAM BROTHERS grab the clover and run. HORTON follows them. The chase is on!)

[HORTON] (spoken)
Hey! Give that back! Stop!
