A dancey song performance by Mrs Toad and her Singers de Espana
troupe as an introduction for Thumbelina into their life. I love it because
of the lyrics and great onscreen action.
Thanks so much to Prue for sending in the lyrics. I couldn't have done it without you. :D

|
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 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 |
|
Thumbelina
|
We do? |
|
Mrs Toad
|
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! |
