The Once‐ler’s Traveling Madness (Original Demo) Songtext
von Ed Helms

Na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Op-bop-bahdoop-ba-doop boo
Going off to make a Thneed

I′ve got a cramp in my back
And another cramp in my right rump cheek
You and I will have separate grandchildren
And we will say to them
Melvin, look I'm playing my guitar upside-down

Don′t look at me like that!
It's something to do
Oh, wait, I forgot the words
Na-na, na, na-na-na


You ever think really hard about boredom?
Is that annoying?
Is that annoying?
Is this annoying?

Look, it's some circling birds
I bet you that they′re going to eat our corpses
And then the worms will come out of the ground
And then some other little critter′s going to come and
Make furniture out of our bones
And sit on it
And have lovely dinners
And this whole thing will be a disaster

Da-da-da, da-da da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da da-da, da-da-da-da
