Biggering

Cinco Paul / John James Powell

[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
