Once-Ler: At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff I had a little cottage And that cottage was enough A place where I could sit and knit A place where I could sell my thneeds But now I've had a little time To rea**ess my needs And I need a bigger office I need a bigger chair A bigger desk A bigger staff A bigger hat to wear! Because I'm biggering! (Yes, biggering!) I'm figgering on biggering! And biggering is triggering More biggering! Lorax: Hey listen up meathead I'm a say this once and I'm not gonna repeat it Greed, see, it's like a little pet, all right? And the more and more and more that you go and feed it The more hungry it'll get But, you know, you really can't blame greed Naw that's stupid You see, it's got a worm inside Oh yeah that's right That's one that always needs to feed And it is never satisfied You get it? But the more you try to find it The more it likes to hide Now listen That is a nasty little worm I like to call it pride! See now that's why you're biggering! Listen here idiot! And figgering on biggering! But that biggering's just triggering more biggering! Got that? All right! Once-Ler: There is a principle of nature that most every creature knows It's called survival of the fittest, and this is how it goes The animal that wins has got to claw and bite and kick and punch The animal that doesn't winds up someone else's lunch A company's an animal that's trying to survive It's struggling and fighting just to keep itself alive I must keep on biggering! I'm figgering on biggering! Though biggering is triggering More biggering! I won't stop biggering! I'm figgering on biggering! And biggering is triggering more biggering! With the customers all buying And the money multiplying And the PR people lying And the lawyers all denying Who cares if some things are dying? I don't want to hear your crying This is all so gratifying!
