Ooh, I like it a lot.

My house is my very

Most favorite spot.

In fact, I cannot think of

Anyone who would not like this

Fine house of mine.

♪♪ [Clears throat]

♪♪ Bird, is there something you

Want to say to me?

♪♪ Why--why, yes, cat, there is.

I do not understand why your

House is so special. I mean, my

House is in this tree--a nice,

Natural habitat.

♪♪ It is very nice, bird.

♪♪ But...but your house is just

A regular, boring old house.

♪♪ Boring? Bird, I will prove to

You that my house is not boring.

I will give you a tour of my

House and everything in it.

You can come, too.

I will show you my house

I will start with this wall.

For this wall is the most

Special wall of them all.

And do you know why?

♪♪ Why?

♪♪ Because...

This wall here has doors,

Doors there and doors here.

And if you open the doors...

Little cats will appear!

♪♪ Little cat "a" at your

Service!

♪♪ Little cat "b" at your

Service!

♪♪ Zib zow "z"! Zabba zappa

Zee. Za za.

♪♪ Now, little cats, I would

Like you to help me give our

Bird friend here--and our people

Friends out there--a tour of

The house.

♪♪ Why, certainly. Now,

The first thing to know is that

The house has a ceiling

Above us.

♪♪ Ooh!

♪♪ It protects us from

The weather. Now, down below,

You'll notice a floor.

♪♪ Ahh.

♪♪ It gives us someplace to put

Our feet.

♪♪ We also have windows, so we

Can see outside, and a door, so

That we can leave the house when

We so choose.

♪♪ Zunna zee, zunna za.

♪♪ That's right. And don't

Forget all this lovely

Furniture. Tables, chairs,

A bathtub--all of these things

A bathtub--all of these things can go inside a house.

Can go inside a house.

♪ Here is my window

For looking at sunsets,

This is my kitchen,

And the sink's right here,

Pretty red roses

Brighten my counter

♪♪ A comfortable tree

Above a cozy chair

♪♪ And that's not all,

I've even got a painting

On the wall!

♪♪ How I love my house,

It's a homey place for me to be,

From the floor to the ceiling,

I get a great feeling

When I'm inside my house

♪♪ Food in the cupboard

To cook in the oven

♪♪ Turn on a lamp,

Throw open my front door!

♪♪ Climb up the staircase

Is where I keep my bowling ball!

My house! ♪

♪♪ So what do you say, bird?

Ceiling, floor, windows, door,

Bathtub! Is this not a wonderful

House?

♪♪ To be perfectly honest, cat,

It still seems boring.

♪♪ How about that? There is just

No pleasing some birds.

[Fanfare]

♪♪ I think there's a story

Coming in!

Ah, yes, I was right! Our tour

Will have to wait, for at this

Very moment, a story is

Happening. Hmm.

In seussville, our heroine,

Sarah hall-small,

Is creating a dream house--

The best house of all.

Hurry! There is no time to

Waste! To the wubbulascope!

Ah, the wubbulascope. Oh, yes.

I forgot to mention one of my

Favorite places in my house--

The map of the wubbulous world.

Now, where is seussville? Ahh.

There it is! We must find out

What's happening with our friend

Sarah hall-small.

Sarah hall-small. I love the wubbulascope!

I love the wubbulascope!

Sarah is drawing some pictures

Of places to live.

And all of them seem

Quite imaginative.

She could live in a tent

In a vast desert land...

And spend her day playing

In gold-colored sand.

Yes, sarah could live in

A place that is hot.

♪♪ Could someone bring me

A glass of water?

♪♪ But she also might live

In a place that is not.

She could live like the men

In the north of yakat,

In a house made of ice,

And wear a fur hat.

♪♪ [Shivering] how is a house

Made of ice supposed to keep us

Warm?

♪♪ ♪Yat-dat-dat-dat-dat,

Hey!

Yat-dat-dat-dat-dat,

Hey!

Yat-dat-dat-dat-dat,

Hey!

♪♪ [Screams and shivers]

♪♪ She could live in a house

With a small squibble squirrel.

♪♪ Hi.

♪♪ The top floor would make

A great home for this girl.

♪♪ No kidding?

♪♪ [Squeaks]

♪♪ Really?

♪♪ It would be quite nice there,

Under the sky,

But then, sarah would have to be

Inches high.

Any one of those houses

Might someday be hers.

But which house do you think

Sarah hall-small prefers?

It's a -bedroom house

In a small, quiet town,

Painted quite simply in

Green, yellow and brown.

For this home is the home

Of the family hall-small.

This window's their window.

This wall is their wall.

This house is the house

Sarah thinks is the best.

♪♪ [Sighs] it just feels more

Homey than all of the rest.

I have my own room,

With my toys in my box.

I have a big dresser

Where I keep shirts and socks.

I have all my books

Which sit on the shelf.

I have all these pictures.

I made them myself.

[Sighs]

I have my own nightcap

To wear on my head,

And when I get sleepy...

Ahh. [Exhales]

I have my own bed. Ahh.

Good night.

♪♪ So you see, people live in

All kinds of neat places,

All over the world in

All over the world in all sorts of strange spaces.

All sorts of strange spaces.

So wherever you go,

However far you roam,

You will always be somewhere

That someone calls home.

♪♪ Za-za-zooh!

♪♪ You're right, little cat "z."

Let us finish our tour! I have

Not even shown you the kitchen

Yet.

♪♪ The kitchen?

♪♪ It's sam-i-am.

♪♪ Hello there, cat! I could not

Help but hear you say that

You're showing everyone your

Kitchen.

♪♪ That is right, sam. Why don't

You come in and see my kitchen,

Too!

♪♪ I'll be right there!

♪♪ I was just showing my friends

Here all the things in my house.

♪♪ A kitchen is a very important

Part of the house. After all,

That is where you cook.

♪♪ Very true.

♪♪ And today, I was hoping

I would be able to use your

Kitchen to cook...

A house!

♪♪ You--you're going to cook

A house, sam-i-am?

♪♪ That's right, cat! Of course,

I am making this house out of

Snackle-brat wafers!

♪♪ Snackle-brat wafers? Of

Course! Please, go right ahead.

♪♪ First, we take some wafer

Dough and roll it flat with

A rolling pin!

[Humming]

Steady, steady. There we go.

Ah. That's flat.

♪♪ Astonishing!

♪♪ Then, we cook the wafers...

For seconds.

♪♪ Seconds? Why, that's not

Very much time.

♪♪ They're done! Now, could we,

Should we make a floor?

♪♪ Yes!

♪♪ Could we, should we add some

Walls?

♪♪ Oh, definitely!

♪♪ Could we, should we make

A roof?

♪♪ Zippity zoop dah.

♪♪ [Laughs]

♪♪ A roof and floors,

Walls and doors,

And might we add

Just one thing more?

♪♪ Hmm.

♪♪ I can't think of anything.

What are your thoughts?

♪♪ Maybe a...

Little chimney!

♪♪ Aww!

♪♪ Wow.

♪♪ That's it!

♪♪ The crowning touch.

♪♪ And there you have it--

A snackle-brat-wafer house!

♪♪ Sam, you have really outdone

Yourself this time.

♪♪ Look at it.

♪♪ It is magnificent!

♪♪ Zibba zabba zep?

[Laughter]

♪♪ Oh, we can eat it later,

Little cat "z." I think it is so

Pretty that we should just look

At it for a while.

♪♪ Yeah.

♪♪ Well, I must be going. Thank

You for letting me use your

Kitchen, cat. Good-bye.

♪♪ Good-bye, sam-i-am!

♪♪ Good-bye, sam!

♪♪ Zoobaba!

♪♪ Well, my friend bird,

Now what do you think?

Is this kitchen a fine place

To cook, eat, and drink?

♪♪ Well, sorry, cat. I still

Don't see why your house is so

Great.

♪♪ But, bird, let me explain.

This is such a wonderful house!

[Fanfare]

♪♪ Oh, I'll have to get back to

You, bird, because I think

I know what that music means.

Yes, I was right!

A big story is breaking

At this very minute,

And morton, our elephant-bird

Friend is in it!

Come on! To the wubbulascope,

Everyone! Ah, this house would

Not be complete without my

Not be complete without my wubbulascope. [Chuckles]

Wubbulascope. [Chuckles]

Let's see. Morton lives in

The jungle of nool, which is

Right...here!

With the wubbulascope

As an aid to our viewing,

We can visit young morton

We can visit young morton and see what he's doing.

And see what he's doing.

So what has morton the elephant

Bird been doing?

♪♪ I've been thinking. I got

A trunk. I got big ears like any

Other elephant. I've got

Elephant pictures. I got books

About elephants. I've got

Peanuts. [Sighs] and I also have

Wings, like a bird. And I can

Fly!

Ahh. Still, when I look around

This room, I don't feel much

Like a bird.

♪♪ [Hums]

♪♪ Hi, dad.

♪♪ Hi, son. How's everything?

♪♪ Well, I've been feeling

A little sad lately.

♪♪ Sad? Why are you feeling sad,

Son?

♪♪ Well, look around this place.

Everything in this room is for

Elephants.

♪♪ What's wrong with that? You

Are an elephant-bird.

♪♪ Yes, but there's nothing in

This room for birds. I'm

Neglecting a whole half of me!

♪♪ Well, why don't you get

Yourself something that will

Bring out the bird part of you?

That'll cheer you up!

♪♪ That's a great idea, dad.

Thanks!

♪♪ Glad to help, son. [Hums]

♪♪ That's a great idea. I'll get

Something to make me feel more

Like a bird. But what? Ah.
