Original Lyrics: 

Dr. Seuss The Lorax Soundtrack Lyrics
The Once-Ler - Everybody Needs A Thneed Lyrics

Everybody needs a thneed!
A fine thing that all people need!
The thneed is good, the thneed is great,
Let's hope we're not too late!
It's a super trendy hat,
It's a tightrope for an acrobat,
A net for catching butterflies,
Daily use for EXERCIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE!
Everybody needs a thneed,
(A THNEED!)
A fine thing that all people need,
(WE NEED!)
Everybody needs a thneed!
(ahhhhhh ahhhhh)
We want the thneed,
(ahhhhh ahhhhhh)
We need the thneed,
(ahhhhhhh ahhhhhh)

Own Rendition: 

Everybody needs a reed!
A fine thing that all people need!
The reed is wood, the reed is bait,
Let's hope we're not too late!
It's a super bendy slat,
It's a green-soap for an alley-cat,
A set for scratching butterflies,
Mainly juice for EXERCIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE!
Everybody needs a reed,
(A REED!)
A fine thing that all people need,
(WE PLEAD!)
Everybody needs a reed!
(ahhhhhh ahhhhh)
We want the reed,
(ahhhhh ahhhhhh)
We need the reed,
(ahhhhhhh ahhhhhh)
