Were you looking for the version of This Is The Place that was longer and not used in the movie?

This is the Place is a song featured in the 2012 film adaptation of The Lorax. It is sung by Ed Helms and Chris Renaud, voices of the Once-ler and the forest animals respectively.

The song is about the Once-ler discovering the valley of trees so he can chop one to make his Thneed.

Lyrics[]

This is it!

[Guitar solo]

This is the place!

These Truffula trees are just a-what I need

Gonna chop one down and make my Thneed

But first...

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Now you!

(La, la, la, la, la, la, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

Ah, ha! That's great!

Ah, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (La, la, la, la, la, la, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

Ho, oh, ha, ha, loopa, pa, pa, hoopa, hutha, hitha, how, how! (La, la, la, la, la, la, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

So now our friendship can begin (Bob-shoo-bop, bob-shoo-bop)

Hand in hand, and wing and fin (Ooh, bob-shoo-bop)

There's nothing you and I can't do (Bob-shoo-bop, bob-shoo-bop)

So let's all make my dreams come true (Ooh, bob)

Yodel-oo, yodel-oo, yodel-oo-hoo-hoo-hoo! (La, la, la, la, la, la, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

Hoo-hoo! Yodel-ay-hee-ho-lo-ley, hey, hey, hey! (La, la, la, la, la, la, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

Yodel-ay-hee-hoo! Yodel-lodel-le-he.. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo… hoo… hoo… (La, la, la, la, la, la, na, na, na, na, na, na)

El, ay, hay, hoo, hoo...?

La, la, la, la, la, la, na, na, eh

Hey guys? Come on, where’s my back-up chorus?!
