Biggest Blame Fool (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

Humpf, humpfed a voice
'Twas a sour kangaroo
And the young kangaroo in her pouch said
"Humpf" too

Why that speck is as small as the head of a pin
A person on 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
And I think so as well

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

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

Ha, laughed a voice
Ha, laughed some others
Ha, ha, ha, laughed the Wickersham brothers!

Oh, he's the biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
And monkeys like us should know
We've been out on a limb
Lookin' down on him but he's fat, dumb
He's slow

Elephants ain't too swift as a rule
But he's the biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool

'Cause he's talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck, to a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jungle of Noo

Talkin' to a speck, talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
R E S P E C K
Oh, please, take that speck away

Did you hear? Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?
Through the jungle, the news quickly spread
Did you hear? Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?
He talks to a dust speck, he's out of his head

Our topic today is Psychic elephants who hear voices
Whaddaya think, folks, is the elephant off his trunk?
Don't go away we'll he right back with speck
Clover, dust, "eighbor, 'who, stay tuned

Biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
I'm Gertrude McFuzz and I live right next door
He's never done anything crazy before

Biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
He's always been friendly and loyal and kind
I just don't believe Horton's out of his mind

Did you hear? Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?
I'm Mayzie La Bird
And I live in that tree

Did you hear? Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?
Enough about Horton
Let's talk about me

Let's talk about, talk about
Talk about, talk about me

Talkin' to a speck, talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jngle of Nool

Talkin' to a speck, talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jungle of Nool

I just have to save them, because after all
A person's a person no matter how small
A person's a person no matter how

Biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
In the Jungle anywhere
Said the But he knows there's no one there

Acting as if he Somebody's starts than you

Biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool, Nool, Nool
In the Jungle of Nool, Nool, Nool
In the Jungle of Nool, Nool, Nool
Nool, Nool
