Yeah. I’m Gertrude in my school play and this song is really hard. You have to memorize when to take breaths or else you will mess up. There are so many words in this song, and in the normal version it is a lot quicker. You have to have a good respiratory system to do this. I’m so nervous 😬
GERTRUDE I had a little trouble 'Cause I grew a little tail. Well, it wasn't really little. It was absolutely giant! And it really was attractive But you never even noticed, So I felt a little silly even trying Besides which the tail was too heavy For normal flying. HORTON Go on. GERTRUDE Well, when the hunters caught you I could see that I'd been foolish 'Cause I couldn't even help you No, I couldn't even fly. And I got so very frightened 'Cause I knew I had to save you. No one else was gonna go to all the labor. It was all up to me, All you had was your next door neighbor. (THE CAT as DR. DAKE enters.) GERTRUDE So I ran to the doctor. CAT AS DR. DAKE The doctor named Dake. And she said.- GERTRUDE My tail has been a mistake! CAT AS DR. DAKE And she said: GERTRUDE Dr. Dake, I've been foolish and vain. Pluck it out! Get it off! I won't do it again! CAT AS DR. DAKE Pluck! Pluck! Pluck! GERTRUDE Ouch, it hurt a lot! CAT AS DR. DAKE Pluck! Pluck! Pluck! GERTRUDE Ooh, a tender spot CAT AS DR. DAKE Pluck! Pluck! Pluck! GERTRUDE Just a one feather tail... DR. DAKE, GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS But suddenly, Gertrude could sail! GERTRUDE (dramatically) I sailed on a junk And was practically sunk For you. I trampled thorough the trees Full of furious bees For you. I slogged through a fog And a choking smog Down a soggy slope Through a stinking bog While my slip was gripped By a vicious dog For you. GERTRUDE BIRD GIRLS I galloped through the snow ooh... In eleven below For you. ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Yes, even though I knew ooh... I was catching the flu For you (achoo!) (achoo!)

(HORTON eagerly takes the clover from GERTRUDE)
Im doing this play in my drama Greenock players and I'm Gertrude mcfuzz I had no confidence but now this part made me get the most confidence I could ever have it is one of the best parts I will rembber this part for life 💙
My School is putting on Suessical Jr. and I'm auditioning for Gertrude McFuzz. I'm really nervous, so does anyone have any advise for auditions? I'd appreciate it greatly.
HappyDraws74 dont be afraid to be silly! embody gertrudes awkwardness and also her dedication. im in suessical rn as a who but i know the person who is gertrude and i was there when she auditioned and she stuck out because she really let loose. good luck!!
I got a callback for Gertrude and Jojo too, but got a cold on the callback day (today) and all of my airways were clogged but I hope I did ok. I worked all night memorising the lyrics because the audition day was only yesterday. I really wanted it but now I don’t think I’ll get her because one of the two girls I was up against was really good 😭
I’m playing Gertrude in my school’s production and this is by far the hardest song to sing. She did an amazing job!
The red one has ALOT of expression!! I LOVE IT!!!
UniKitty Glitter Bomb ikr!

I just found out i'm playing Gertrude in my school's production of Seussical and I'm so nervous I've never had a lead before
I found out october last year but we couldn't do it cause of covid:(
@@JoMorran same
Good luck even tho u already did it. How’d you do?
@@kaleighsirani4596 It was fun and i think i did ok
Me too
The birdgirls are the best wingmen. XD
I could tell this gertrude's voice was getting a little tired during the song, but otherwise she did amazing 💖

@@Corgi-_- oooh fun! One of my friend went for cat but they said she was too short lol 😅
GERTRUDE
I had a little trouble
'Cause I grew a little tail.
Well, it wasn't really little.
It was absolutely giant!
And it really was attractive
But you never even noticed,
So I felt a little silly even trying
Besides which the tail was too heavy
For normal flying.
HORTON
Go on.
GERTRUDE
Well, when the hunters caught you
I could see that I'd been foolish
'Cause I couldn't even help you
No, I couldn't even fly.
And I got so very frightened
'Cause I knew I had to save you.
No one else was gonna go to all the labor.
It was all up to me,
All you had was your next door neighbor.
(THE CAT as DR. DAKE enters.)
GERTRUDE
So I ran to the doctor.
CAT AS DR. DAKE
The doctor named Dake.
And she said.-
GERTRUDE
My tail has been a mistake!
CAT AS DR. DAKE
And she said:
GERTRUDE
Dr. Dake, I've been foolish and vain.
Pluck it out! Get it off!
I won't do it again!
CAT AS DR. DAKE
Pluck! Pluck! Pluck!
GERTRUDE
Ouch, it hurt a lot!
CAT AS DR. DAKE
Pluck! Pluck! Pluck!
GERTRUDE
Ooh, a tender spot
CAT AS DR. DAKE
Pluck! Pluck! Pluck!
GERTRUDE
Just a one feather tail...
DR. DAKE, GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
But suddenly, Gertrude could sail!
GERTRUDE (dramatically)
I sailed on a junk
And was practically sunk
For you.
I trampled thorough the trees
Full of furious bees
For you.
I slogged through a fog
And a choking smog
Down a soggy slope
Through a stinking bog
While my slip was gripped
By a vicious dog
For you.
GERTRUDE BIRD GIRLS
I galloped through the snow ooh...
In eleven below
For you.
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yes, even though I knew ooh...
I was catching the flu
For you
(achoo!) (achoo!)
And then came the hole ooh
Where I caught my sole ooh
And I rolled downhill ooh
Out of all control ooh
'Till I broke my fall
On a jagged shoal
For you!
ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh!
All for you
All for you
All for you
All for you
There's nothing that I
Wouldn't
And I couldn't
And I haven't gone through...
ahh, aah, aah, aah!
(With tremendous conviction and grit!)
I sprained my little toe, but la-la-la-la-la!
I hobbled like so la-la-la-la!
For you. La-la-la-la-la-la-la!
ooh ... Ooh ... Ooh
Then came the hit and run la-la-la-la-la!
But I staggered on one la-la-la-la!
For you. La-la-la-la-la-la-la!
Now, here I am, ahh-ah!
The worse for wear
And here you are ahh-ah!
I'm here!
You're there!
And maybe now ah!
You'll know I care ahh-ah!
For you! Ooh!
ooh ...
GERTRUDE
Oh, yes. And Horton, one more thing...
It took me seven weeks...
But I found your clover,
Too!
(HORTON eagerly takes the clover from GERTRUDE)

Siobhan Tolan HELLO FELLOW GERTRUDE!!!
I’m playing Gertrude in Seussical Jr. And I’m so excited! (The show’s in February) This and Notice Me Horton are my favorite songs in the entire show!
I just recently played Gertrude for my arts company and this song was definitely one of the hardest, yet most fun to preform!
our gertrude had to drop last minute due to sickness and now i’m taking over the role three days before opening night. pray for me!!!! lmao
Omg im 4 yrs late but how did it go?
My first performance was tonight but I broke my femur so I can’t do it but I still get to see it tomorrow.
My School is putting on Suessical Jr. and I'm auditioning for Gertrude McFuzz. I'm really nervous, so does anyone have any advise for auditions? I'd appreciate it greatly.

AF Conway I just got a callback for her and JoJo which is why I’m here lmao

I worked all night memorising the lyrics because the audition day was only yesterday. I really wanted it but now I don’t think I’ll get her because one of the two girls I was up against was really good 😭
i love the red bird girl!
This Gertrude is so good
I just practiced this scene earlier today
3:03 was that a mistake for her line?
-GDXdominator- Geo no
Is it just me or at the end was Gertrude supposed to say TOO YOU and not TOO?
Draco Malfoy No, she’s saying she found the clover too, with double O’s so she’s saying she found the clover as well.
Oh
Amazing
poor horton at 2:11 he is like " okay gertrude i understand hehe"
I thought there was only 3 bird girls well my production has only 2
