Amayzing Horton

[MAYZIE LaBIRD] (singing)
OH, WOW, IT'S REALLY LATE!
AND GEE, I'VE GOT A DATE!
AND LOTS OF PLACES TO BE.
BUT IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU!

LOOK AT YOU!
WHO WOULD EVER GUESS?
LOOK AT YOU!
SUCH A BIG SUCCESS...
AND IT'S ALL THANKS TO ME!

AMAYZING HORTON!
THAT EGG-SITTING CIRCUS SENSATION!
AMAYZING HORTON!
EVEN I'M IMPRESSED!
AMAYZING HORTON!
WHILE I WAS OFF TAKING VACATION
YOU MADE YOUR FORTUNE
UP ON MAYZIE'S NEST...

I MAY BE
UNRELIABLE.
FANCY FREE.
IRRESPONSIBLE.
CRAZY ME,
ALWAYS EAGER TO FLY.
BUT SEEING YOU
GIVES ME TRUE DELIGHT.
JUST FOR ONCE
I'VE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT.

[MAYZIE] (spoken)
The egg is all yours!

[MAYZIE] (singing)
NO, DON'T THANK ME,
I'LL CRY!

(Just a moment, MAYZIE is actually sincere and even a little contrite.)

GOOD LUCK WHEN IT HATCHES.
GOOD LUCK...

[MAYZIE] (spoken)
And goodbye.

(MAYZIE exits hastily. The other Animals look at HORTON with sympathy as he holds the unwieldy egg in his arms.)

[HORTON THE ELEPHANT]
I meant what I said,
And I said what I meant.
An elephant's faithful,
One hundred percent.
