Mrs. Toad: The scrubbings, and the washings,
And the noses with the drippings,
And the sopas always boiling...
Mozo, Gringo, Grundel: Si, Si!
Mrs. Toad: The panes and windows falling,
With the diapers 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, ey? 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 cuchi-cuchi-cuchi 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!
