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

[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: [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!
