This is REALLY helpful I recently got Gertrude in Suessical jr. And hey didn't give out a cd with no lyrics so I was singing the one with the song but then in rehearsal I was off time by a lot, so this really helped
I'm so glad to hear that. We recently did Seussical Jr. in our school and I noticed our Gertrude and Bird Girls were having the exact same problem, which is why I made this video. Cheers!
Thank you SO much for this! The timing in this song is so incredibly tricky but this helped so much so I could practice without singing over another voice
Play video GERTRUDE I had a little trouble 'Cause I grew a little tail. Well, it wasn't really little. It was absolutely giant! And it really was attractive But you never even noticed, So I felt a little silly even trying Besides which the tail was too heavy For normal flying. GERTRUDE So I ran to the doctor. CAT AS DR. DAKE The doctor named Dake. And she said.- GERTRUDE My tail has been a mistake! CAT AS DR. DAKE And she said: GERTRUDE Dr. Dake, I've been foolish and vain. Pluck it out! Get it off! I won't do it again! CAT AS DR. DAKE Pluck! Pluck! Pluck! GERTRUDE Ouch, it hurt a lot! CAT AS DR. DAKE Pluck! Pluck! Pluck! GERTRUDE Ooh, a tender spot CAT AS DR. DAKE Pluck! Pluck! Pluck! GERTRUDE Just a one feather tail... DR. DAKE, GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS But suddenly, Gertrude could sail! GERTRUDE (dramatically) I sailed on a junk And was practically sunk For you. I trampled thorough the trees Full of furious bees For you. I slogged through a fog And a choking smog Down a soggy slope Through a stinking bog While my slip was gripped By a vicious dog For you. All for you All for you All for you All for you There's nothing that I Wouldn't And I couldn't And I haven't gone through... ahh, aah, aah, aah! I sprained my little toe, but la-la-la-la-la! I hobbled like so la-la-la-la! For you. La-la-la-la-la-la-la! ooh ... Ooh ... Ooh Then came the hit and run la-la-la-la-la! But I staggered on one la-la-la-la! For you. La-la-la-la-la-la-la! Now, here I am, ahh-ah! The worse for wear And here you are ahh-ah! I'm here! You're there! And maybe now ah! You'll know I care ahh-ah! For you! Ooh! ooh ... GERTRUDE Oh, yes. And Horton, one more thing... It took me seven weeks... But I found your clover, Too!

GERTRUDE
I had a little trouble
'Cause I grew a little tail.
Well, it wasn't really little.
It was absolutely giant!
And it really was attractive
But you never even noticed,
So I felt a little silly even trying
Besides which the tail was too heavy
For normal flying. GERTRUDE
So I ran to the doctor.
CAT AS DR. DAKE
The doctor named Dake.
And she said.-
GERTRUDE
My tail has been a mistake!
CAT AS DR. DAKE
And she said:
GERTRUDE
Dr. Dake, I've been foolish and vain.
Pluck it out! Get it off!
I won't do it again!
CAT AS DR. DAKE
Pluck! Pluck! Pluck!
GERTRUDE
Ouch, it hurt a lot!
CAT AS DR. DAKE
Pluck! Pluck! Pluck!
GERTRUDE
Ooh, a tender spot
CAT AS DR. DAKE
Pluck! Pluck! Pluck!
GERTRUDE
Just a one feather tail...
DR. DAKE, GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
But suddenly, Gertrude could sail!
GERTRUDE (dramatically)
I sailed on a junk
And was practically sunk
For you.
I trampled thorough the trees
Full of furious bees
For you.
I slogged through a fog
And a choking smog
Down a soggy slope
Through a stinking bog
While my slip was gripped
By a vicious dog
For you.
All for you
All for you
All for you
All for you
There's nothing that I
Wouldn't
And I couldn't
And I haven't gone through...
ahh, aah, aah, aah!
I sprained my little toe, but la-la-la-la-la!
I hobbled like so la-la-la-la!
For you. La-la-la-la-la-la-la!
ooh ... Ooh ... Ooh
Then came the hit and run la-la-la-la-la!
But I staggered on one la-la-la-la!
For you. La-la-la-la-la-la-la!
Now, here I am, ahh-ah!
The worse for wear
And here you are ahh-ah!
I'm here!
You're there!
And maybe now ah!
You'll know I care ahh-ah!
For you! Ooh!
ooh ...
GERTRUDE
Oh, yes. And Horton, one more thing...
It took me seven weeks...
But I found your clover,
Too!
