Hello, everybody. Thanks for coming. I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. And I'd like to say a few
words, if you please. Regarding the story that you're about to see it actually happened. Just take it from me. But there's more to this story than what's on the page, so please pay attention while I set the stage. We open in Thneedville, a city they say that was plastic and fake, and they liked it that way! A town without nature, not
one living
tree. So, what happened to them? Cue the music! Let's see.
Buzz.
Buzz. In Thneedville, it's a brand new dawn With brand new cars and houses and lawns Here in Got-all-that-we-need-ville In Thneedville, we manufacture our trees Each one is made in factories And uses 96 batteries In Thneedville, the air's not so
clean So we buy it fresh It comes out this machine! In Satisfaction's- guaranteed-ville In Thneedville, we don't want to know Where the smog and
trash and chemicals go I just went swimming, and now I glow In Thneedville, we have fun year round We surf and snowboard
right in town We thank the Lord for all we've got Including this brand new parking lot! Parking lot! Oh, look, it's Aloysius O'Hare Aloysius O'Hare The
man who found a way to sell air And became a zillionaire Hip-hip-hooray! In Thneedville, we love living this way It's
like living in paradise It's perfect! And that's how it will stay Oh,
yeah!
