Lyrics with pictures
MRS. TOAD [SINGING]: The scrubbings and the washings
/ And the noses with the drippings
/ And the sopas always boiling
/ The panes of windows falling
/ With the diapers changing
/ With the roof, she's leaking
/ And the enchiladas spoiling
GRUNDEL, MOZO, GRINGO: Ooh.
MRS. TOAD [SINGING]: Do you know how to do these things /
 Like you will have to do these things?
/ Or does the very thought of it
/ Make you wince?
GRUNDEL, MOZO, GRINGO: Ugh.
MRS. TOAD: I thought so
MRS. TOAD: Then don't marry the prince
THUMBELINA: Oh, dear...
MRS. TOAD: You see?
 You become big star, like me.
We make big moneys together.
You make Mama rich.
You're important person.
You are famous. You are a star!
THUMBELINA: A star? Well, I suppose.
MRS. TOAD: Now, repeat after me.
MRS. TOAD [SINGING]: We are the Singers de Espana
The original cast
And there hasn't been a town
We haven't played
GRUNDEL, MOZO, GRINGO: We are the Singers de Espana
/ And we sing very fast
/ We get on
/ We get off
/ We get paid
THUMBELINA: Could you say that a little slower?
MRS. TOAD: Slower? We don't do ballads.
THUMBELINA: Maybe I can take notes.
MRS. TOAD [SINGING]: We are free and independent
/ We go everywhere
/ We gotcha-gotcha goochee all the way
/ We gonna teach you how to samba
/ And to rumba y La Bamba
/ Every number, Thumbelina, say, "ole"!
Come on the road my little castanet /
 Come on the road and famous you will get
/ I'll make you star get you small guitar
/ You'll be hot muchacha once I gotcha on the road
GRUNDEL, MOZO, GRINGO: Thumbelinacita!
/ No one could be sweeter!
/ Sing with mamacita!
/ We go on the road!
MRS. TOAD: Now we sing.
We open Monday in Medina
/ Then we do Babylon
/ Then we hop to Barcelona for a week
/ Then for a month in Athens at the Parthenon
/ Where they love us
/ 'Cause we do the show in Greek
GRUNDEL, MOZO, GRINGO:
 We are the finest in the business
/ It's a well-known fact
/ And you'll forgive us
/ If we have to blow the horn
MRS. TOAD: Because this isn't any ordinary animal act
/ And today a star is born
GRUNDEL, MOZO, GRINGO: Go on the road
/ You'll hear the peoples roar
/ You're not a toad
/ But that's what makeup's for
/ Just sing on pitch
/ We'll get very rich /
 Wait until they see the Thumbelina
/ On the road
/ Singing Thumbelina
/ Dancing Thumbelina
/ Something Thumbelina
MRS. TOAD: Now I make her sing
You got it.
GRUNDEL, MOZO, GRINGO: Come on the road,
/ We make you big success
/ Come on the road
MRS. TOAD: You're in the union, yes?
GRUNDEL, MOZO, GRINGO: The life, she's sweet
/ Lots of flies to eat
THUMBELINA: Yum-yum.
GRUNDEL, MOZO, GRINGO: So why be a little fish in little pond
/ When you can go so far beyond?
MRS. TOAD: I think perhaps we make you blond
GRUNDEL, MOZO, GRINGO: When we get on the road
THUMBELINA: On the road
ALL: Let's hit the road, ole!
