Your eyes open enough,
Oh, the stuff you will learn!
The most wonderful stuff!

“Don’t give up! I believe in you all.
A person’s a person, no matter how small!
And you very small persons will not have to die
If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!”

My shoe is off.
My shoe is off.
My foot is cold.
I have a bird
I liked to hold.

“My friends!” cried the elephant.
“My friends!” cried the elephant.
“Tell me! Do tell!
Are you safe? Are you sound?
Are you whole? Are you well?”
When at last we are sure
You’ve been properly pilled,
Then a few paper forms
Must be properly filled
So that you and your heirs
May be properly billed.

You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
“This”, cried the Mayor, “is your town’s darkest hour!
The time for all Whos who have blood that is red
To come to the aid of their country!”, he said.
“We’ve GOT to make noises in greater amounts!
So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!”
I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant
An elephant’s faithful,
One hundred percent.
Oh the things you can find
If you don’t stay behind!
In Who-ville they say
That the Grinch’s small heart
Grew three sizes that day!
It’s high time you were shown
That you really don’t know
All there is to be known.

So we sat in the house
All that cold, cold, wet day.

Step in on the mat!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You’re on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go.
And today the great Yertle, that Marvelous he,
Is King of the Mud. That is all he can see.
And the turtles, of course…all the turtles are free
As turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.
You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed.
You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you’ll be the best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don’t
Because, sometimes, you won’t.

You should.
These things are fun.
These things are good.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
The more that you read,
The more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
The more places you’ll go.
