Biggering - The 88, The Lorax Singers

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 reassess 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!
