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 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

Mrs Toad, Mozo, Gringo, Grundel:

Come on the road, and famous you will get

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
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:

Singing Thumbelina, dancing Thumbelina, something Thumbelina
Mrs Toad:

Come on the road
Mrs Toad:

Mozo, Gringo, Grundel:
The life, she's sweet
Mrs Toad:

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!
