(Mrs Toad)The scrubbings and the washings 

And the noses with the drippings 

And the soapas always boiling... 



(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) Si, Si 



(Mrs Toad) The panes and windows falling 

With the diaper changing 

With the roof she's leaking 

And the enchiladas spoiling

 

(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) Oooh... 



(Mrs Toad) 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 



(Thumbelina, Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) Uhh... 



(Mrs Toad) I thought so 

Then, don't marry the prince 



(Thumbelina) Oh dear 



(Mrs Toad) You see, hey? You become a big a-star like me. 

We make big moneys together. You make Mama rich. 

You are important person. You are famous. You are a star! 



(Thumbelina) A star? Well, I suppose... 



(Mrs Toad) Now, repeat after me... 

We are the singers de Espana, the original cast 

And there hasn't been a town we haven't played 



(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) We are the singers de Espana and we sing very fast 



(Mozo) We get on 



(Grundel) We get off 



(Gringo) We get paid 



(Mrs Toad) Sing! 



(Thumbelina) Could you say that a little slower?



(Mrs Toad) Slower? We don't do ballads.

 

(Thumbelina) Oh, maybe I could take notes.

 

(Mrs Toad) We are free and independent, we go everywhere 

And we gotcha gotcha gochee all the way 

We're gonna teach you how to samba and to ramba y la bamba 

and every number Thumbelina, say ole! 

(Mrs Toad, Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) Come on the road, my little castanet 

Come on the road, and famous you will get 



(Mrs Toad) I'll make you star, get you small guitar 



(Mrs Toad, Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) You'll be hot muchacha once I gotcha 



(Mrs Toad) On the road 



(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) Thumbelinacita! No one could be sweet-a! 

Sing with Mamacita! We go on the road, Huah! 



(Mrs Toad) Ay, yi yi yi yi! Ay, que pero bien bailan mis ranitos la conga!



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



(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) 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! 



(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) Go on the road, you'll hear the peoples roar 

You're not a toad 



(Mrs Toad) But that's what make-up's for 



(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) Just sing on pitch, we get very rich 

Wait until they see the Thumbelina 



(Mrs Toad) On the road

 

(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) Singing Thumbelina, dancing Thumbelina, something Thumbelina 



(Mrs Toad) Now I make her sing 



(Thumbelina) AAaaaaahhhhhhh! 



(Mrs Toad) Bueno, muy bueno, you got it!

 

(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) Come on the road, we make you big success 

Come on the road 



(Mrs Toad) You're in the union, yes? 



(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) The life, she's sweet 



(Mrs Toad) Si! 



(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) Lots of flies to eat 



(Mrs Toad) Yum yum!



(Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) So why be little fish in little pond 

When you can go so far beyond 



(Mrs Toad) I think perhaps we make you blonde 



(Mrs Toad, Mozo, Gringo, Grundel) When we get on the road 



(Thumbelina) On the road 



(All) Let's hit the road! Ole!
