Biggering

The 88

    Continues after the ad

    [The Once-ler]
    At first I didn't realize
    I needed all this stuff
    I had a little cottage
    And that cottage was enough

    A place where I could sit and knit
    A place where I could sell my Thneeds
    But now I've had a little time
    To re-assess my needs

    And I need a bigger office
    I need a bigger chair
    A bigger desk, a bigger staff
    A bigger hat to wear

    Because I'm biggering
    I'm figuring I'm biggering
    And biggering is triggering
    More biggering

    [The Lorax]
    Hey, listen up, meathead
    I'm going to say this once, and I'm not gonna repeat it
    Greed, ya' see, it's like a little pet, alright?
    And the more and more and more that you go and feed it
    The more hungry it'll get!

    Continues after the ad

    But, you know, you really can't blame greed
    No, that's stupid
    You see, it's got a worm inside
    Oh, yeah, that's right
    It's one that always needs to feed
    And it is never satisfied

    You get it?
    But the more you try to find it
    The more it likes to hide
    Now listen: That is a nasty little worm
    And I like to call it pride

    See, now, that's why you're biggering!
    Listen here, idiot!
    I'm figuring on biggering!
    But, that biggering's just triggering more biggering!
    Got that? Alright!

    [The Once-ler]
    There is a principle of nature
    That most every creature knows
    It's called survival of the fittest
    And this is how it goes

    The animal that wins has got to
    Claw and bite and kick and punch
    The animal that doesn't
    Winds up someone else's lunch

    A company's an animal
    That's trying to survive
    It's struggling, and fighting
    Just to keep itself alive

    I must keep biggering
    I'm figuring I'm biggering
    Though biggering is triggering more biggering
    I won't stop

    Biggering
    I'm figuring I'm biggering
    And biggering is triggering more biggering

    And the customers are buying
    And the money multiplying
    And the PR people lying
    And the lawyers are denying
    Who cares if some things are dying?
    I don't wanna hear your crying!
    This is all so gratifying
