still wet in the clouds were still to the and the song of the swomee swans raining out in space one morning I came to this glorious place and I first saw the trees the Truffula trees bright colored Tufts all the Truffula trees mile after Mile in the fresh morning Breeze and under these trees I saw the brown barbaloots frisking about in their barbaloot suits as they played in the shade and a Truck yellow fruits from the rookie respond came to comfort Bahamas Fish humming while splashing around what those trees those trees freeze all my life I've been searching for trees such as these the touch of their Tufts was but softer than silk and they had the sweet smell of fresh butterfly me I felt the great leaping of joy in my heart I knew just what I do I unloaded my cart build a small shop and then I chop down a tree with one chop and with great skillful skill and with great speed speed the soft tuft and I needed us need I finished I heard a good I looked and I saw something pop out of the stump it was sort of a man described him that's hard he was shortish and oldish and brownish in Mossy and he spoke with a voice that was sharpish and bossy mr. he said with a saw Dusty sneeze I Am The Lorax I speak for the trees I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongue and I'm asking you sir the top of my lungs he was very upset and shouted what's that thing you made out of my chocolate out look Lorax I said cause for no alarm I chop down just one I'm doing no harm I'm being quite useful a thing as a find something that all people need it's a shirt it's a sock it's a walrus a hat so it has all the yes far beyond that you can use for carpets for pillows for sheets for curtains The Lorax it's your crazy with greed there's Snead but the very next moment I prove he was wrong for just that minute a check came along I thought the Snead I had needed was great he happily bought it for 398 I'll after The Lorax you poor stupid guy you never can tell some people will buy I repeat Cry The Lorax I speak for the trees I'm busy I told him shut up if you please Irish cross the room and in no time at all had built a radiophone I put it a quick call I called on my brother my uncles and aunts and I a whole one for family to get my t-rich skin over here fast take the road to North Niche turn left at Weehawken a sharper so Stitch and in no time at all in the factory I built the whole Once-ler family was working Full Tilt we were all living in Sneads just as busy as bees to the sound of chopping of Truffula trees and then oh baby oh how my business did grow so quickly I am at one Smacker we are making Snead's four times as fast as before and that Lorex he didn't show up anymore knock on my new office door I Am The Lorax speaks which you seem to be chopping as fast as you please charge of the brown barbaloot suit and happily live now thanks to your hacking my go round are all getting crummies because they have gas and no food in their tummies we love living here but I can't let them stay I hope that they may good luck as I watch them all go but business is business and business must grow regardless of the I meant no harm my most truly did not but I had to grow bigger so bigger I got I figured my factory I figured my roads eye bigger I'm bigger the loads of the Snead's I shipped out I'm shipping them forth to the South to the east to the west of the north I went right on Big Ring selling more thieves and I figured my money which everyone need then again he came back when did old thing back with more gripes I Am The Lorax he sneezed and he snuffled he's Once-ler he cried with a croque Once-ler you're making such a marvelous smoke my poor swomee swans what I can't sing sing who has smog in their throats I'm so sad The Lorax please pardon my cough so I'm sending them off where were they go I don't hopefully know they may have to fly for a month or a year to escape from the smog you smiled up around here what's more step The Lorax his dander was up let me see a few words about the Muppet Eagle up your machinery without stop making bloody glove and also shop in the shop and what do you do with this leftover goo I'll show you you dirty old once in a manual you're gumming the pond with a humming fish hummed no more can they hum for their gills are all gummed I'm sending them off older future is Drury the walk on their fins and get wolfley weary in search of some water that isn't so smearing and then and then I got mad I got terribly mad I yelled at The Lorax now listen here Dad all you do is Yap it's a bad bad bad bad will I have my rights and I'm telling you I intend on doing just what I do and for your information you'll Lorax I'm figuring on biggering figuring and figuring and figuring and figuring which everyone everyone everyone needs and at that very moment we heard a loud walk from outside in the fields came the sickening smack open acts on a tree then we heard the tree fall the very last truck you the tree of the mall no more trees no more that needs no more work to be done so in no time my uncles and aunts everyone all wave goodbye they jump my cars and drove away under the smoke smoker Stars know all that was left needs a bad-smelling sky was my big empty Factory The Lorax and I The Lorax give me a glance just gave me a very sad sad backward glance his face when he hoisted himself and took leave of this place through a hole in the smog without leaving a Trace in all of The Lorax left here in this mess it's a small pile of rocks with one word unless whatever that meant well I couldn't guess that was long long ago and he stay since that day I've sat here and worried and worried away Through The Years while my falling apart I worried about it with all of my heart now that you're here the word of The Lorax seems perfectly clear unless unless someone like you here's an awful lot nothing is going to get better so catch close the Once-ler and he let something fall it's the last one of all you're in charge of the last of the Truffula seed intraocular trees are what everyone needs plant a new truck dealer treated with care give it clean water is fresh air grow a forest protected from access. then The Lorax may come back
