(Gertrude)
It's taken all my courage to approach you,
Not to mention all my stamina to follow you
Across the hills and deserts
But I feel as if I'm ready to confess to you
The feelings that I've hidden with great diligence and labor
Behind the vasod of your odd little next-door neighbor
My eyes are too small,
I have very large feet,
And I'm not very proud
Of my pitiful "Tweet!"
But I've now got a tail that is something to see
(Horton)
One hundred and two, one hundred and three
(Gertrude)
Oh, notice me, Horton,
Feather by feather
This is your next-door neighbor calling
Notice me, Horton
Horton, together, we could be great! [key change]
Oh notice me, Horton
Put down the clover
This is your next-door neighbor calling!
There's a new leaf your neighbor's turned over
(Horton)
Over and over, clover by clover
(Both)
I was just a no one only yesterday,
But you showed up and showed me something more [key change]
Now I've become a someone
Who has someone to believe in and to be there for
(Gertrude)
I will not give up hope
I was hooked from the start,
When I noticed your kind and your powerful heart
So notice me, Horton
(Horton)
Oh the world would be something new
(Gertrude)
Notice me, Horton
(Horton)
If they noticed a thing or two
(Gertrude)
Notice me, Horton
(Both)
The way I notice you
