GERTRUDE: There once was a girl bird named Gertrude McFuzz And she had the smallest plain tail ever was One droopy-droop feather, that's all that she had And oh, that one feather made Gertrude so sad She curled it. She dyed it she gave it a puff She decked it with flowers ...But it wasn't enough For no matter what, It just was what it was A tail that simply wasn't meant To catch the eye of an elephant... The one feather tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz.
every time I hear this song I want to cry. I worked so hard to get Mayzie but I got Vlad Update: I loved playing Vlad it was just so much fun I completely underestimated it
bro no joke I was cast as horton so since I am a girl, they chose that gertrude would be a male lead. My boyfriend got the male lead, and he said this was his favorite song 🦖
ProdigyTheGreat the whole point of gertrude’s arc is to show that what you do will impress people, not what you look like. even mayzie is unsatisfied with her life, because she doesn’t have any time to do what she wants to do
FYI this isn't the song title it's actually the one featherd tail of miss Gertrude mcfuzz and the song when mayfield comes in isn't part of this song their both seperate the mayfield song is called amazing mayzie
I got Gertrude, and our show is all high schoolers AND junior high kids, because our school is so small. I'm in 8th grade, and I'm really surprised because this part is actually really big! I'm kinda nervous but excited :3
Everyone's saying that I am going to be the Cat in the Hat and I'm pretty excited because nobody's going to try out for the Cat since they all think I am gonna get it. I'm a bit nervous that I will let them down somehow.
Sydney I tried out for Mayzie too, I got a Jungle Citizen but my best friend got Mayzie. My best friend said “At least you got a part..” and whispers to all her other friends when I walk I go back to my classroom in tears. Why am I ranting here? Help.
@@brookeelynchh Make the most of it is what I would say. Just try to have fun with what you have. In 5th grade I got a backup role and was upset but I ended up having so much fun anyway :D
The show my high school did (my big bro was in the ensemble), right befor this Gertrude said: Love Song For Horton, Number 4....... Thousand, five hundred, and sixty eight. And she also had an ukulele! It was awesome I loved that actress as Gertrude
The first of the "Doot Doot doo, doo didoo didoo" moments in the show. If you analyze the show, you'll notice that the "here on who" melody is not played starting here, and doesn't return until after this tune's final moment is all for you.
Ever since I was a 9th grader, I've wanted to be in this show either as Jojo, Mayzie, or Gertrude. I still do. I've never been a lead before, or even a supporting role. I've always been either ensemble or a minor role. Because of this, and a lot of other things, I feel like I've gone from a Jojo to a Gertrude (my self-esteem is down in the dumps and I've become extremely shy and self-depricating).
Galations 1:10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man, if I were still trying to please man I would not be a servant of Christ.
Ik this is irrelevant to the song but I tried so so so hard to get jojo and everybody said I was the best but the girl who got it was the president of our troupe and the favorite. I got young kangaroo though

My school’s doing this in April and I’m SO EXCITED! I’m auditioning for Mayzie soon so wish me luck! Edit: CAST LIST COMES OUT THIS WEEK AND IM FREAKING OUTTT
omg noooooo im scared i just did callbacks for my school show of seussical (gertrude and mayzie) I am hoping for gertrude but idk! the cast list comes out soon so yeah. Break a leg for your show if it hasn't happened alr
I was Mayzie! This was my fave part besides Ariel in The little mermaid, so much fun. Now that i'm older i understand the character better... She's such a diva...
@@Belieber_obx ty! this was last summer and i had a lot of fun as gertrude, it was my last theatre camp show ever, so it was a nice send off. i stull would’ve rather been mayzie! congrats on horton!!
@@Belieber_obx don't stress too much!! idk how much experience you have but i would definitely say dont wear your voice out leading up to the preformance. i had practiced waaayyy too hard before opening night and barely had any voice. i would also say just try to have fun with your cast. its a long process and it's no fun if you all hate eachother. i hope your show goes well!!
@@m4ryslibrary Tysm I really needed to hear all that. We have to practice three times on the night then perform 2 shows so I hope my voice is okay. I'm glad you had fun as Gertrude and I'm sure that you told me not to stress (even though I have been stressing so bad)
Lucky and your also lucky that you didn't have to preform in the summer i was sweating like crazy but the musical is awesome your gonna have a blast doing it ^^
In the play I was in for this 2 years ago I played thing 1. The playhouse added characters and changed the whiskersham brothers into the whickersham sisters because there was 4 girls and 1 boy in the monkey group. I really want to be Gertrude
I was part of the tech crew for my schools performance of Seussical. That was a week ago. This song is still stuck in my head like some idiot went at it with the help of gorilla glue and and a brain surgeon.
MY bff is trying out for Gertrude in our drama camp production, using this. I hope she does well :) I'm trying for the Sour Kangaroo, and hope it goes well.
I would really like to audition for Gertrude... any suggestions from past or present people who played Gertrude. Also suggestion to face embarrassment because my parents are co directors of the show and I'm worried people will think I had an advantage if I get the part
my class had to do this thing for music where we had to chosse a boredway song and sing it or lip sing it and me and my friends chose this song and Imwas Mayzie my friend Moira was Gertude and Morgan, Katie, and Justin were bird girls no group would take Justin
Well i hope atleast you had lots of fun ^^ i know i did over the summer it was really hot in the penguin costume but it was for children so it was fine ^^ they were so excited to see us in person i was surprised that we were picked favorite jungle animals when were well penguins ?
so my school is doing this show and basically we had to add more people to the who ensemble bc no one was loud enough (besides me and like 2 other ppl but not the point) so when the "new whos" were watching this song for the first time, one of them asks, "why are they singing about pills?"
“No more crumbs, I vowed I would have the cake!” Is the best lyric ever
GERTRUDE:
There once was a girl bird named Gertrude McFuzz
And she had the smallest plain tail ever was
One droopy-droop feather, that's all that she had
And oh, that one feather made Gertrude so sad
She curled it. She dyed it she gave it a puff She decked it with flowers
...But it wasn't enough
For no matter what, It just was what it was
A tail that simply wasn't meant
To catch the eye of an elephant...
The one feather tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz.
Thanks!!
The funny thing is the girl who played Gertrude in my play sounded EXACTLY like this! It was awesome! :D
Mayzie to Gertrude
If you have tail problems
I feel bad for you hon
I got 99 problems
But a tail ain't one.
Mic drop
That was beautiful 😂😂
every time I hear this song I want to cry. I worked so hard to get Mayzie but I got Vlad
Update: I loved playing Vlad it was just so much fun
I completely underestimated it
Vlad is awesome!! Without him, there would be no conflict! Plus, you can do anything from a small role! :D good luck! (Probably already passed lol(
I got Vlad too. Don't feel bad. I really wanted Jojo, though.
Aye Vylad is better than ensemble :)
SlipperyCats ouch thanks I’m in ensemble
I had six roles even Vlad its so fun BUT PEOPLE MISTAKED ME FOR BATMAN “VLAD VLADIKOFF NOT BATMAN!”
As Horton... this is one of my favorite songs.
I love how this song gives a secret message about people getting peer pressured into doing drugs 😭 (I'm Mayzie btw) 😭😭😭🤣🤦🏼♀️
My school is doing Seussical Jr. and I got the part of Gertrude!
+I 〈3 Stampylongnose cool!!!! I also
It's Just Jenna Same :3
Congrats! I got Mrs. Mayor.😂👏🏻
I got Young Kangaroo :D
Im a birdgirl
I'm playing Mayzie in ours and I love this role!! It's so fitting for me and I'm excited to perform it
Fav song in the whole musical. I’m one of the bird girls💪
bro no joke I was cast as horton so since I am a girl, they chose that gertrude would be a male lead. My boyfriend got the male lead, and he said this was his favorite song 🦖
@@-ria-5110 ayyyyyy

I'm singing this song to audition tomorrow for the school play. I'm so nervous. Wish me luck!
I like your profile picture
Same
I had a production today about suessical kids
Same here
Im doing ut tuesday after thanksgivig break
Taking pills to impress someone? Good message to the children!
ProdigyTheGreat the whole point of gertrude’s arc is to show that what you do will impress people, not what you look like. even mayzie is unsatisfied with her life, because she doesn’t have any time to do what she wants to do
She regrets it in the end though, so it's not as bad
Dude, seriously. She learned her lesson. Chill.
LpsFireworkTV thank you 😊
ProdigyTheGreat HAHHAHAHAHHA
I’m a bird girl. Amayzing Mayzie is the show stopper 🎉
I was a wickersham but i got changed into gurtrude last minute
Any fellow ensemble folks in this musical???
I LOVE THIS SONG
As Mayzie, this is my second favourite song after Solla Sollew
FYI this isn't the song title it's actually the one featherd tail of miss Gertrude mcfuzz and the song when mayfield comes in isn't part of this song their both seperate the mayfield song is called amazing mayzie
I'm pretty sure they are combined in the jr. version since they are directly one after another
seussical the most beautiful musical love this so much no commentscan explain what this means to me
I was the lights person for this and had the time of my life
I got Gertrude, and our show is all high schoolers AND junior high kids, because our school is so small. I'm in 8th grade, and I'm really surprised because this part is actually really big! I'm kinda nervous but excited :3

The person who played Gertrude was really good just gotta say that
I think half of these views are from me haha I was gertrude about 2 years ago and it was a dream
1:17 if you need Mazie's part
Or 1:38 for lines
Everyone's saying that I am going to be the Cat in the Hat and I'm pretty excited because nobody's going to try out for the Cat since they all think I am gonna get it. I'm a bit nervous that I will let them down somehow.
You'll do great! I believe in you.
Did you get it?

if your mayzie or a bird girl start at 1:16
Thx im a BIRD GIRL!!!!
Onyxmeth no 1:17

Sort of a musical metaphor for the "A" and "B" plots of the show
BORD GORL RIGHT HERE
MAYZIE SQUAD WHERE U AT?? 🤘🤘

Yes girl I was her!!
Ayeeeee
Mayzie! on you with I'm Girl
ahdhdbdjsbjs I got Mayzie for my schools musical, the shows in 4 weeks and I’m so nervous😬
the melody's perfect. And it almost sounds like my life..."a tale that simply wasn't meant. To end up with the happy end." lolol
Ever since I was a 9th grader, I've wanted to be in this show either as Jojo, Mayzie, or Gertrude. I still do. I've never been a lead before, or even a supporting role. I've always been either ensemble or a minor role.
