[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! 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
