Were you looking for the version of This Is The Place that is shorter and used in the movie?
This is the Place (Tricky Version) is an unused song from the 2012 film adaptation of The Lorax. It is an extension of This Is The Place, following the Once-ler and the forest animals singing together while the Once-ler tries to find the perfect object to make his Thneed out of.
It was sung by Ed Helms and Chris Renaud, voices of the Once-ler and the forest animals respectively.
Lyrics[]
This is it!
This is the place!
It's bound to have just what I need
I wanna hold it all in one big embrace
But first...
Let's find the stuff to make my thneed
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Now you!
La, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (Haha, that’s great!)
Humming-fish, I love your hums
I've got a feeling we'll be chums
This pond is perfect! There's no doubt
Excuse me while I rip these out!
La, la, la, la, la, la
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
La, la, la, la, la, la
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Swomee-Swans, you fly so high (Ooh, la, la, la)
Everywhere I look, you fill the sky (Ooh, la, la, la)
I love your graceful neck, and your noble breast (Ooh, la, la, la)
But the thing that I love most, just might be your nest (Ah, ah, ah)
Thank you!
La, la, la, la, la, la
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
La, la, la, la, la, la
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Hey there, Bar-ba-Loot! (La, la, la, la, la, la)
You look so cute in your Bar-ba-Loot suit (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
Your fur's so soft, hey you know what? (La, la, la, la, la, la)
I'm gonna shave a little bit off your Bar-ba-Loot butt! (Ahh)
This is it! These Truffula Trees (Ooh, ahh, la, la, la)
All my life I've searched for trees, such trees as these (Ooh-ooh)
The touch of their tufts is softer than silk (Oh-woah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
And they have the sweet smell of butterfly milk
Oh everybody now!
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na?
Na, na, ah-da-de-da-do…?
Hey, guys? Come on, where's my back-up chorus?!
It's not happening? It's not happening- you guys don't feel like singing…?
