The lyrics were written by Theodore "Dr. Seuss" Geisel himself and the tune was by Albert Hague, who some of you may recall as the music teacher, Professor Shorofsky, in both the movie and TV series of Fame. Here's how it was sung in the special by Mr. Ravenscroft…
There have been dozens, if not hundreds of cover versions and videos but here are three I like. This first one was done by Voctave, a musical group I often feature on this blog…
And this is by another favorite group, Pentatonix…
And this version is by yet another musical group, Home Free…
