Monkey Around

WICKERSHAMS
Yeah!

WICKERSHAM #1
There's a rustle in the bushes.
There's a tremble in the trees.
Hear it like a whisper
Smell it on the summer breeze.

WICKERSHAMS
Mm-hmm!

WICKERSHAM #1 WICKERSHAMS #2, 3
Somethin' big is getting nearer Ooh ...mm-hmm!
Somethin' big is comin' through Ooh ...mm-hmm
Got some monkey business Ah ...

WICKERSHAMS
That's what we intend to do...
WICKERSHAMS
Come on!
I wanna monkey,
Monkey around
Come on!
I gotta monkey
Monkey around
Come on!
We're gonna monkey
Ooh, we're gonna monkey around! Ooh!

(HORTON enters, clutching his clover)

HORTON
The Wickershams. Uh, hello.

(The WICKERSHAM BROTHERS circle HORTON)

WICKERSHAM #2
Well, it's bigger than a breadbox WICKERSHAM # 1,3
Mm-hmm!

WICKERSHAM #3
Hey, it's wider than a whale!
WICKERSHAMS #1,2
Mm-hmm!

WICKERSHAM #1
Peanut butter breath

WICKERSHAMS
And scared to death from head to tail!

WICKERSHAM #1
So you're still talking to dust oh, that's hot!

WICKERSHAM #2
A dust speck that's all full of Whos who are not!

WICKERSHAM #3
There aren't any Whos. Why I don't hear a sound!

WICKERSHAMS
Come on! We've gotta monkey... Monkey around!

(The WICKERSHAM BROTHERS grab the clover and run.
HORTON follows them. The chase is on!)

HORTON
Hey! Give that back! Stop!
