Solla Sollew
[HORTON THE ELEPHANT] (singing)
THERE'S A FARAWAY LAND
SO THE STORIES ALL TELL
SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE HORIZON.
IF WE CAN FIND IT
THEN ALL WILL BE WELL.
TROUBLES THERE ARE FEW.
SOMEDAY, WE'LL GO TO...
SOLLA SOLLEW,
SOLLA SOLLEW...
[HORTON, & CIRCUS ANIMALS]
SOLLA SOLLEW,
SOLLA SOLLEW.
[HORTON] (spoken)
I've lost my poor Whos
And we've traveled so far.
Oh, JoJo, forgive me
Wherever you are.
(We see JOJO at military school, writing a letter. MAYOR and MRS. MAYOR are home, reading his letter.)
[JOJO]
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm thinking of you.
And wishing we all were in Solla Sollew.
[JOJO] (singing)
THEY SAY BREEZES ARE WARM THERE
[HORTON]
AND PEOPLE ARE KIND.
[JOJO, & HORTON]
MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING LIKE HEAVEN.
[JOJO, MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR, & HORTON]
I CLOSE MY EYES
AND I SEE IN MY MIND:
SKIES OF BLUES BLUE
[CIRCUS ANIMALS, & ALL]
SOLLA SOLLEW
[HORTON, & (CIRCUS ANIMALS)]
I'VE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE
FIND ING MY WAY THERE.
WHEN I GET CLOSE,
IT DISAPPEARS (SOLLA SOLLEW)
[HORTON]
IF WE CAN GET THERE,
WE'RE GONNA STAY THERE
IF IT TAKES US MILES,
[JOJO, MAYOR, & MRS. MAYOR]
IF IT TAKES US MILES
[HORTON]
IF IT TAKES US YEARS.
HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN
OR LOST IN THE SEA,
[HORTON, & JOJO]
SOONER OR LATER, I'LL FIND IT.
[MAYOR]
I HAVE A PICTURE
OF HOW IT WILL BE
[MAYOR, & MRS. MAYOR]
ON THE DAY I DO
[HORTON, MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR, & JOJO]
TROUBLES WILL BE THROUGH
AND I'LL BE HOME WITH YOU.
[ALL]
SOLLA SOLLEW
SOLLA SOLLEW
SOLLA SOLLEW
SOLLA SOLLEW
SOLLA SOLLEW
SOLLA SOLLEW
SOLLA SOLLEW
[HORTON]
I'LL BE HOME...
WITH YOU
[ALL (except HORTON)]
SOLLA SOLLEW.
