"What's the Story, Dr. Seuss?"
Words & Music by Daniel J. Paolini

What fun to curl my tongue around,
The rapping rhythm and the sound,
Of consonants and vowels so loose,
They must have come from Doctor Seuss!

Doctor Seuss, I want to know.
How do you make your stories grow?
How do you choose the words you use?
What's the story, Doctor Seuss?
What's the story, Doctor Seuss?

The Grinch, the Cat, of course, his hat,
The ham and green, the eggs I’ve seen.
They make me laugh, almost to tears,
While bringing smiles to my ears.

Doctor Seuss, I want to know.
How do you make your stories grow?
How do you choose the words you use?
What's the story, Doctor Seuss?
What's the story, Doctor Seuss?

I tuck my children into bed,
While wondering just what I said.
It sounded right, but yet – not quite.
Who cares! It makes a great "Good Night".

Doctor Seuss, I want to know.
How do you make your stories grow?
How do you choose the words you use?
What's the story, Doctor Seuss?
What's the story, Doctor Seuss?

But now we mourn our Theodor,
We’ll miss his stories, books and more.
But wait! It isn’t such a mess…
While there’s no more – there is no less.

Doctor Seuss, I want to know.
How do you make your stories grow?
How do you choose the words you use?
What's the story, Doctor Seuss?
What's the story, Doctor Seuss?

Doctor Seuss, I want to know.
How do you make your stories grow?
How do you choose the words you use?
What's the story, Doctor Seuss?
What's the story, Doctor Seuss?
